tennessee ernie ford – the faded coat of blue lyrics
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
no more the bugle calls the weary one,
rest, n-ble spirit,
in thy grave unknown! ill find you and know you,
among the good and true,
when a robe of white is givn for the faded coat of blue
he cried, give me water and just a little crumb,
and my mother she will bless you thro all the years to
come;
oh! tell my sweet sister, so gentle, good and true,
that ill 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! ill find you and know 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 beat 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, n-ble spirit,
in thy grave unknown! ill find you and know you,
among the good and true,
when a robe of white is givn for the faded coat of blue
no more the bugle calls the weary one,
rest, n-ble spirit,
in thy grave unknown! ill find you and know you,
among the good and true,
when a robe of white is givn for the faded coat of blue
