Lyrics

[00:05.14] There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
[00:10.65] it's a place that we all know so well
[00:16.16] it was there that we fought against the fascists
[00:21.37] we saw a peaceful valley turn to hell
[00:26.88] From this valley they say we are going
[00:32.08] but don't hasten to bid us adieu
[00:37.25] even though we lost the battle at Jarama
[00:42.50] we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through
[00:49.49] We were men of the Lincoln battalion
[00:54.40] we're proud of the fight that we made
[00:59.81] we know that you people of the valley
[01:04.87] will remember our Lincoln brigade
[01:11.14] From this valley they say we are going
[01:15.90] but don't hasten to bid us adieu
[01:21.01] even though we lost the battle at Jarama
[01:26.06] we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through
[01:32.59] You will never find peace with these fascists
[01:37.30] you will never find friends such as we
[01:42.26] so remember that valley of Jarama
[01:46.91] and the people that'll set that valley free
[01:53.33] From this valley they say that we're going
[01:57.73] Don't hasten to bid us adieu
[02:02.58] even though we lost the battle at Jarama
[02:07.34] we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through
[02:13.56] All this world is like this valley called Jarama
[02:18.06] so green and so bright and so fair
[02:22.92] no fascists can dwell in our valley
[02:27.73] nor breathe in our new freedom's air
[02:32.48] From this valley they say that we're going
[02:36.83] Do not hasten to bid us adieu
[02:41.53] even though we lost the battle at Jarama
[02:46.14] we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through
