Country Joe McDonald - Clara Barton lyrics

McDonald Every time in the world someone receives first aid You can thank clara barton for the life that is saved She lived out her life in a world ruled by men Every time they knocked her down she got back up again Clara barton Civil war veterans with tears in their eyes Told how she braved the battle lust to save their lives She never ran from the shot and the shell Bringing aid and comfort in the midst of hell And even then at the war's very end When the prisoners were lost and without friends She helped families to find those that they loved A professional angel sent from up above Thank the lord for clara barton and long live her name The american red cross is her claim to fame. When you see a red cross worker in a time of flood or war Take a moment to remember and thank the lord for clara barton.
