When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle,
Through the blood and tears they won through.
Bless the heart of each Yankee there on Iwo Jima Isle
Resting 'neath a blanket of blue
High on the hill Suribachi
Flies Old Glory and she always will.
When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle,
There were tears in their hearts 
Through they smiled.

When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle,
Every heart could sing once again;
And the sight of Old Glory over Iwo Jima Isle
Swelled the hearts of our fighting men.
Long will it wave o'er the hilltop,
As a symbol of heroes who died.
When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle,
There were tears in their hearts 
Through they smiled.
