"When the 'Yanks' Come Marching Home" is a World War I era song released in 1917.

Artist Albert Wilfred Barbelle designed the sheet music cover.

It features a group of smiling soldiers marching and a steam ship sailing away.

[2] Another cover features William J. Reilly, USN, who also performed the song.

The chorus is as follows:[4] For there'll be smiles and cheers and miles of tears When the "Yanks" come marching home There'll be tears enough you know to make a dozen rivers flow Dressed in their torn and tattered suits of tan From battlefields across the foam Hearts will beat with joy for every boy When the "Yanks" come marching home This 1910s song article is a stub.
