Ust trying to get by day by day
While all our boys are far away
Rationing has hit us hard
Living on scraps from our backyard
Try telling all the children
Daddy's not coming home
Hiding beneath a table
While the bombs are raining down

This is a woman's war
Holding up the fort
From their front doors
This is a woman's war
Keeping home fires burning
And so much more

Work in munitions night and day
Long endless shifts for such little pay
Spirit replaces vanity
Now wearing overalls with dignity
They're no strangers to fatality
Lost lives caused by mistakes
Hits them harder than
Any other thing they have to take
Home front

This is a woman's war
Holding up the fort
From their front doors
This is a woman's war
They're keeping home fires burning
And so much more

This is a woman's war
They're holding up the fort
From their front doors
This is a woman's war
Keeping home fires burning
And so much more

Well, this is a woman's war
Keep the home fires burning
Burning
Keep them burning

Burning
