The lyrics of the song portrays the French soldiers' calling out to Joan of Arc with the chorus ending "Come lead your France to victory; Joan of Arc, they are calling you." The cover of "He Sleeps" pictures a woman, man, and dog sitting before a fireplace, while the lyrics relate the story of a young man who wounded at war, and "knew that he was going to die there on that summer's day." Refrain: "He sleeps beneath the soil of France so many miles away, he left behind the one he loved and a mother old and gray, he fought because he knew 'twas right to fight for liberty and now he's sleeping over there, beneath the soil of France." Each consists of single sheet folded to create 4 pages, 13-1/4" tall and 10-3/8" wide, with two pages of lyrics and music inside - the back cover of Joan of Arc advertises "The Latest Dance Craze - Paddle Addle in Your Little Canoe" and that of He Sleeps contains and snippets promoting "Beautiful Home Songs."
