Can't find the verse, but my trusty Hal Leonard fakebook has this much. -Joe Offer-
This Is My Country Words by Don Raye, Music by Al Jacobs Copyright, 1940, Shawnee Press, Inc.
This is my country Land of my birth. This is my country Grandest on earth! I pledge thee my allegiance. America the bold. For this is my country, to have and to hold.
This is my country Land of my choice. This is my country Hear my proud voice! I pledge thee my allegiance. America the bold. For this is my country, to have and to hold.
Didn't Kate Smith make this popular? Yeah, I think it was on her Jingoism Jubilee LP.
