[00:08.523]Were you with the Marines on Guadalcanal, hiding in the sand,
[00:15.369]Crouching behind the sea-wall, thinking of the promised land.
[00:21.749]Dreaming about our homes and wives, would we see them any more?
[00:28.762]Fanatic white and yellow men fighting for what they adore.
[00:33.420]Trapped down in a machine-gun nest, surrounded on all sides,
[00:38.899]Al Schmidt and the Captain, fighting for their lives.
[00:44.651]Bodies stacked up nineteen deep, like shells in a bomb-bay,
[00:50.813]Many a white and yellow man lost his life that day.
[00:56.144]They fought on through the cruel dark night and into the next day,
[01:02.104]When Dugout Doug called to them from away across the Bay.
[01:08.165]The Captain says, "I'm paralyzed, and Al Schmidt he is blind,
[01:14.057]But I tell him where to fire the gun as though he had one mind."
[01:20.195]Dugout Doug lifted them up, says, "You'll get a medal this night";
[01:26.073]"Yes," said Al Schmidt, "but will the Corps give back my sight?"
[01:31.735]"Yes," said the Captain, "will I ever move again?"
[01:37.137]And Dugout Doug turned to hide his tears from the men.
