Ust trying to get by day by day While all our boys are far away Rationing has hit us hard Living on scraps from our backyard Try telling all the children Daddy's not coming home Hiding beneath a table While the bombs are raining down This is a woman's war Holding up the fort From their front doors This is a woman's war Keeping home fires burning And so much more Work in munitions night and day Long endless shifts for such little pay Spirit replaces vanity Now wearing overalls with dignity They're no strangers to fatality Lost lives caused by mistakes Hits them harder than Any other thing they have to take Home front This is a woman's war Holding up the fort From their front doors This is a woman's war They're keeping home fires burning And so much more This is a woman's war They're holding up the fort From their front doors This is a woman's war Keeping home fires burning And so much more Well, this is a woman's war Keep the home fires burning Burning Keep them burning Burning
