jolie holland – faded coat of blue lyrics
my brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue
in a lonely silent grave lies the heart that beat so true
he sank faint and hungry among the famish’d 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 all the years to come
oh! 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, n-ble spirit in thy grave unknown
i’ll find you and know you among the good and true
when a robe of white is giving for the faded coat of blue
long, long years have vanished, and though he comes no more
yet my heart will startling beat with each footfall at my door
i gaze over 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, n-ble spirit in thy grave unknown
i’ll find you and know you among the good and true
when a robe of white is giving for the faded coat of blue
