(Roy Acuff)
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That`s where I know I`ll find him resting
So I`m here I`m searching for his grave.
You ask me stranger why I made this journey
Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others my darling`s killed in action
That`s why I`m here I`m searching for his grave.
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That`s where I know I`ll find him resting
So I`m here I`m searching for his grave.

When I come to the spot where he`s sleeping
I know it will cause more heartaches inside
But I long to be by his side once more and tell him
Tell him that I love him and will until I die.
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That`s where I know I`ll find him resting
So I`m here I`m searching for his grave...
