Don't know about Chic Floyd but here's this version..

OVER THERE
Recorded by: The Merrill Staton Choir
Writer: G. M. Cohan

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, don't 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
They're drum, drum, drummin' ev'rywhere

So prepare, Over There
Say a prayer, send the word
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're comin' over
And we won't be back
Till it's over, Over There

Oh, the the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
They're drum, drum, drummin' everywhere

We'll be over, we're comin' over
And we won't come back
Till it's over, Over There
