[Intro]
Ready?
Aim
Okay, York
You're on your own
[Verse 1: Nils Molin, Elize Ryd]
In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee
Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free
Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith
Joined the ranks as a private, assigned to 338th
[Pre-Chorus: Henrik Englund, Henrik Englund & Nils Molin & Elize Ryd]
There on that day
Alvin York entered the fray
Saving the day
82nd all the way
[Chorus: Elize Ryd & Nils Molin, Elize Ryd & Nils Molin & Henrik Englund]
Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
Entered the war from over the sea
Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
Hill 223
[Verse 2: Elize Ryd & Henrik Englund]
When his faith had been put to the test, the call to arms he heeds (Oh-oh, woah)
On the 8th of October he went, made a sergeant for his deeds
Fearless, leading the raid of the war, machine guns on the hill
Charge the enemy, taking the prisoners by power of his will
