toadfrog, probably just because no one had posted them yet. It takes a while even after things are harvested for them to actually make it into the DT. Meanwhile, back at the Ranch.......


THIS IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
w&m: Eddie De Lange & Sam H. Stept, ©1942. As recorded by Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra, with Bob Eberly, vocalist.

I saw a peaceful old valley
With a carpet of corn for a floor
And I heard a voice within me whisper:
"This is worth fighting for."

I saw a little old cabin
And the river that flowed by the door
And I heard a voice within me whisper:
"This is worth fighting for."

Didn't I build that cabin?
Didn't I plant that corn?
Didn't my folks before me
Fight for this country before I was born?

I gathered my loved ones around me
And I gazed at each face I adore,
Then I heard that voice within me thunder:
"This is worth fighting for."
