jarama valley

there's a valley in spain called jarama

it's a place that we all know so well

it was there that we fought against the fascists

we saw a peaceful valley turn to hell

from this valley they say we are going

but don't hasten to bid us adieu

even though we lost the battle at jarama

we'll set this valley free before we're through

we were men of the lincoln battalion

we're proud of the fight that we made

we know that you people love the valley

will remember our lincoln brigade

from this valley they say we are going

but don't hasten to bid us adieu

even though we lost the battle at jarama

we'll set this valley free before we're through

you will never find peace with these fascists

you'll never find friends such as we

so remember that valley of jarama

and the people that'll set that valley free

from this valley they say we are going

but don't hasten to bid us adieu

even though we lost the battle at jarama

we'll set this valley free before we're through

all this world is like this valley called jarama

so green and so bright and so fair

no fascists can dwell in our valley

nor breathe in our new freedom's air

from this valley they say we are going

but don't hasten to bid us adieu

even though we lost the battle at jarama

we'll set this valley free before we're through
