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
