"They All Sang 'Annie Laurie' (the Song That Reaches Ev'ry Heart)" is a World War I era song released in 1915. J. Will Callahan wrote the lyrics. F. Henri Klickmann composed the music. The song was published by Frank K. Root & Co. of Chicago, Illinois. On the cover of the sheet music is a group of soldiers singing around a camp fire. The image of a woman can be seen forming in the smoke. The song was written for voice and piano.

The song starts with group of soldiers gathered around a camp fire. They each are struggling with feelings of loneliness, and are missing their significant others back at home. One of the soldiers, tearing up, suggests they sing a song. In the end, they sing the Scottish song "Annie Laurie" together. The chorus is as follows:
 * There was one song of Nora,
 * darling from Tipperary, so far away
 * And there was one song of English Mary
 * With blue eyes so bright and gay
 * And then from each throat
 * One song came ringing
 * That caused the tears from their eyes to start
 * For they all sang "Annie Laurie"
 * The song that reaches ev'ry heart

The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
