| Tell my father that his son
|
| Didn’t run, or surrender
|
| That I bore his name with pride
|
| As I tried to remember
|
| You are judged by what you do
|
| While passing through
|
| As I rest 'neath fields of green
|
| Let him lean on my shoulder
|
| Tell him how I spent my youth
|
| So the truth could grow older
|
| Tell my father when you can
|
| I was a man
|
| (Verse) (Repeat)
|
| Tell him we will meet again
|
| Where the angels learn to fly
|
| Tell him we will meet as men
|
| For with honor did I die
|
| Tell him how I wore the Blue
|
| Proud and true through the fire
|
| Tell my father so he’ll know
|
| I love him so
|
| Tell him how we wore the blue
|
| Proud and true like he taught us
|
| Tell my father not to cry
|
| Then say goodbye |
