The Story of a Solider - For Memorial Day
One of the best parts of a film chock-full of best parts.
Here's the full song.
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore,
Sign up and fall in, and march off to war.
Blue grass and cotton, burnt and forgotten,
All hope seems gone, so soldier, march on to die.
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore,
Sign up and fall in, and march off to war.
There in the distance a flag I can see,
Scorched and in ribbons, but whose can it be?
How ends the story, whose is the glory?
Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.
