A Texan from out near Duluth, Minnesota

The World War II film A Walk in the Sun premiered Dec. 25, 1945 — 80 years ago today. A song early in the movie mentions Duluth.

The lyrics, written by Millard Lampell, appear below.

These are the men of the Texas division
United States infantry
They are moving into hell
And high water
Rivera and Friedman, Tyne and Porter,
A Texan from Jersey and one from Dakota
A Texan from out near Duluth, Minnesota
Kansas, Maine and Tennessee, Lord God
They’re all in the Texas Infantry
They’re all in the Texas infantry.
