  			D                                G 
There's a valley in Spain called Jarama 
D                                A 
It's a place that we all know so well 
D                    D7          G 
It was there that we gave of our manhood 
A                    A7             D 
Where so many of our brave comrades fell 

We are proud of the Lincoln Battalion 
And the fight for Madrid that it made 
There we fought like true sons of the people 
As part of the Fifteenth Brigade 

Now we're far from that valley of sorrow 
But its mem'ry we never will forget 
So before we conclude this reunion 
Let us stand to our glorious dead 

There's a valley in Spain called Jarama 
It's a place that we all know so well 
It was there that we gave of our manhood 
Where so many of our brave comrades fell
