What i am surprised is that they did not make a remake of this song for our time.

[@dukeofmania6504]

They havn't remade it but Trump is using it in his campaign!

Henry Burr with the Peerless Quartet - one of the best versions of this song. And Henry Burr was Canadian. Thanks for posting!

[@Dicedude]

@@aileen9553 You're absolutely correct. But still, Canada is very proud of him and we who love this music must find a way to keep it alive.

Lyrics:
Johnny get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run
On the run, on the run
Hear them calling you and me
Every son of Liberty
Hurry right away, no delay, go today
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word, over there
That the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word
To beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back til it's over, over there
Johnny get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Johnny show the Hun you're a son of a gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle, do or die
Pack your little kit
Show your grit, do you bit
Yankee to the ranks
From the towns and the tanks
Make your mother proud of you
And the old Red, White, and Blue
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word, over there
That the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word
To beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back til it's over, over there
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word
To beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back til it's over, over there

Twas a simpler time...

[@spaxspore]

+ MAXZONE47 aye, simpler and deadly.

[@awsomocosmic4500]

A simpler, deadlier, and blindly nationalistic time

[@BManStan1991]

+Awsomocosmic and yet people were so much happier...

[@thewingedhussar4188]

How was it simpler?
If anything its far more complicated then it is today.
