05 Mar 17 - 01:57 PM (#3843023) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Hitler Lives' From: GUEST,MVS Song is "Hitler Lives," recorded post-war by Rosalie Allen. It's on Cattle Compact Disc 226, "Rosalie Allen The Hillbilly Yodel Star of the 1940s" and perhaps on youtube. Since both of us are Guests I can't ask you to PM me your box # so I can send you an mp3. If you want to put your @ in a post, however, I'll be happy to send you the mp3. (The western swing site from which I d/l the album is long long defunct.) |

12 Mar 17 - 11:11 PM (#3844561) Subject: Lyr Add: HITLER LIVES (Rosalie Allen) From: Jim Dixon My transcription from YouTube HITLER LIVES Words and music by Red River Dave & Bill Crouch As recorded by Rosalie Allen, 1947. [1] We hear lots of talk today Up and down life's broad highway About whether Hitler died in old Berlin. Here's one thing I'm telling you: You can bet your life it's true; If we forget our boys, then Hitler lives again. [CHORUS:] Hitler lives if we hurt our fellow men. Hitler lives if we forget Those who fought where heroes died That our flag might float on high. If we forget, Hitler lives, Hitler lives. [2] I see buddies here and there Mighty lonesome, in despair, Got no home and got no job and got no friends. If their trouble you ignore, If you turn them from your door, Then you can tell the world that Hitler lives again. [3] Is your memory so numb You've forgotten forty-one, When the world was all aflame from shore to shore? You can count on this, my friend: You'll let Hitler live again If you should ever turn a hero from your door. [HonkingDuck.com lists another recording of this song, by Herman "the Hermit" Snyder, also in 1947.] |
