Remick & Co. The song was originally performed by Al Jolson[1] but would later go on to reach No. 4 on the top 100 US songs of 1918 with a cover by the Peerless Quartet.[2] Cover art and analysisThe cover illustration features a soldier carrying a bayonet, with a grenade in his hand standing near a German trench ready to throw the grenade at the German soldiers.[3] A later cover features a soldier playing the bugle with "Lady Liberty" standing with her hands on his shoulders.[3] "For Your Boy and My Boy" was originally written for a Liberty Loan drive which looked to sell bonds in order to support the allied cause during World War I. It calls upon the patriotic duty of citizens to help out the soldiers over seas by buying bonds and funding the war effort. The chorus line "Ev'ry bond that we are buying will help the boys to cross the Rhine. Buy bonds, buy bonds, for your boy and mine," is repeated throughout the song to emphasize the importance of buying bonds.[1] See also
