[Chorus]
There will be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee

[Verse 1]
When the mother saw him comin'
Yeah, she greeted him with a smile
She threw her arms around him
Sayin', "This is my darlin' child"
Yeah, the father told the servants
"Go kill the fattest calf
Oh tell your friends and neighbors
My son's come home at last"

[Chorus]
There'll be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee
There will be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee

[Verse 2]
Fightin' days is over
And the victory has been won
There'll be a day of rejoicing
When our boys come marching home
Yeah, their fathers greet their sons
They'll greet them one by one
They're gonna lay down their swords
And they'll study war no more

[Chorus]
There will be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee
There will be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee

There will be a jubilee
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
There'll be a jubilee
When the children all go free
Yeah, they'll lay down their swords
They'll study war no more
There'll be a great big jubilee
