1
My brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue
2
In a lone silent grave lies a heart that beat so true
3
He fell faint and hungry among the famous(?) brave
4
And they laid him sad and lonely within his nameless grave
5
He cried, "Give me water and just one little crumb,
6
And my mother, she will bless you in the many days to come
7
Go and tell my dear sister, so gentle and so true,
8
That I'll meet her up in Heaven, in my faded coat of blue."
9
No more the bugle calls the weary one
10
Rest, lonely spirits, in the grave unknown
11
I'll know you and find you among the good and true
12
When the robe of white is given for the faded coat of blue
13
Long long years have vanished and though he comes no more
14
Yet my anxious heart will start with each footfall at my door
15
I gazed o'er the hilltops where he waved his last adieu
16
But no gallant lad I see in his faded coat of blue
17
No more the bugle calls the weary one
18
Rest, lonely spirits, in the grave unknown
19
I'll know you and find you among the good and true
20
When the robe of white is given for the faded coat of blue
