Description
Originally composed in 1926 by my Dad, David E. Caruso, Sr. and written in the traditional "march-tempo" format of his era, I took the liberty of updating his song and putting a New Orleans spin on it. After the first (almost-traditional) verse, the tempo transitions into what is believed to be the first patriotic second-line in New Orleans musical history.
Lyrics
AMERICA, GOD'S COUNTRY Composed by David E. Caruso, Sr. Updated by Beryl Quinton (David Caruso's daughter) It's grand to be living in a freedom-loving land Where skies are always blue above It's grand to be living in a freedom-loving land America, it's you I love REFRAIN America, God's Country, it's our land, it's so grand, yes siree America, God's Country, it's our land, it's so grand to be free What a grand old flag is our red, white and blue God gave us our land with His blessings so true America, God's country, three cheers for the red, white and blue
