The Faded Coat Of Blue - Various Artists

My brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue

In a lonely grave unknown lies the heart that beat so true

He sank faint and hungry among the famishd brave

And they laid him sad and lonely within his nameless grave

He cried give me water and just a little crumb

And my mother she will bless you in many years ago

Oh tell my sweet sister so gentle good

That I'll meet her up in heaven in my faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit

In their grave unknown I'll know you and find you

Among the good and true

When a robe of white is givn for the faded coat of blue

Long long years have vanished and though he comes no more

Yet my heart will startling with each footfall at my door

I gaze oer the hill where he waved a last adieu

But no gallant lad I see in his faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit

In their grave unknown I'll know you and find you

Among the good and true

When a robe of white is givn for the faded coat of blue
