by Eero Eerola (d. 1939)

Suojeluskuntien marssi
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Joka mies, joka mies nyt risti ties,
Nyt maasi jo kutsuu maine.
Idän saasta jo lyö, nyt on rosvojen yö,
Yli maan käy häpeän laine.

Joka mies, joka mies nyt sua kotilies
Taas kutsuvi taistojen teille.
Maan hurme se soi, pojat Suomen oi,
Isät haudoista haastavi meille.

Joka mies, joka mies pois punainen ies
Nyt kutsuvi Suomen kunto.
Rivit hylkyjen lyö, saa aamuksi yö,
Sitä vaativi kunnia, tunto.

Joka mies, joka mies vaikka käyköhön ties
Luo Ilkan ja taattojen toisten
Kautta kuolonkin näin, yhä vapautta päin
Pois vallasta petturiloisten!

Note: this was written during the Finnish Civil War.
