[Chorus] Hey, pick us a tune, Private Lee Put that guitar on your knee Sing a song about the hills of home While we keep marching on [Verse 1] When we marched into Italy Back in World War II We hadn't shaved in a month or so Or cleaned our muddy shoes A sixty pound pack upon our back And a rifle four feet long But a country boy from Tennessee Brung his old guitar along [Pre-Chorus] And, you know, every time we'd stop for a break Some GI would stick his head up out of his foxhole And you could hear him say... [Chorus] "Hey, pick us a tune, Private Lee Put that guitar on your knee Sing a song about the hills of home While we keep marching on" [Verse 2] Well, we'd march all day, at the end of the line You could hear the sergeant roar "Private Lee's a-picking his old guitar And we're trying to win a war!" But there wasn't a man in our outfit That wouldn't stop to hear him sing When the fighting cooled down, we'd listen for the sound Of that old guitar to ring [Pre-Chorus] You know, somebody was bound to lay his rifle down And kinda kick back on his back And you could hear him say... [Chorus] "Hey, pick us a tune, Private Lee Put that guitar on your knee Sing a song about the hills of home While we keep marching on" [Verse 3] One day, there was a mighty battle When the [?] began to cease We missed the sound of that old guitar So we looked for Private Lee We found him on the side of the mountain Where he'd saved a thousand men And by his side was his old guitar That he'll never play again [Verse 4] The captain joined with all the men And we made a cross of wood From the pieces we found of his old guitar We did the best we could We left him where we found him But his memory will remain Of how he picked that old guitar And we could hear him sing [Chorus] "Hey, pick us a tune, Private Lee Put that guitar on your knee Sing a song about the hills of home While we keep marching on While we keep marching on" One, two, three, four
