Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: God Bless America
Subject: lyrics/music : God Bless America
I am looking for the complete lyrics, music, and history for Irving Berlin's God Bless America. So far, all I have found is that he wrote it in 1918, but it was not recorded until Kate Smith did it in 1938. Apparently the Williamson Music Company in New York owns the copyright. The only version I have found so far has just 6 lines, with some lines repeated to make a total of 10. It seems that there surely ought to be more than that.
