Faded Coat of Blue✓

My brave man sleeps in his faded coat of blue

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

He sat faint and hungry among the Spanish braves

And they laid him sad and lonely within a nameless grave

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit in a grave unknown

For we'll find you and know you among the good and true

Where a robe of white is given for a faded coat of blue

He cried give me water and just a little crumb

And my mother she would bless you through all the years to come

And tell my sweet sister so gentle good and true

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 a grave unknown

For we'll find you and know you among the good and true

Where a robe of white is given for a faded coat of blue

He said my dear comrade you cannot bear me home

But you'll mark my name for mother she'll find me and she'll come

I fear she'll not know me among the good and true

When I meet her up in heaven in my faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit in a grave unknown

For we'll find you and know you among the good and true

Where a robe of white is given for a faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit in a grave unknown

For we'll find you and know you among the good and true

Where a robe of white is given for a faded coat of blue
