When The Boys In Blue Are Gone

"When the comrades have departed and the vet'rans are no more;

When the bugle call has sounded on the everlasting shore;

When life's weary march is ended and the camp fires slumber long;

Who will tell the world the story when the boys in blue are gone?"

"Who will tell about the marching from Atlanta to the sea?

Who will halt and wait and listen to the sound of reveille?

Who will join and swell the chorus of some old Grand Army song?

Who will tell the world the story when the boys in blue are gone?"

"Sons and daughters of our nation you must tell of vict'ries won;

When on earth their work is ended and the vet'rans reach their home;

You must cherish dear Old Glory and its teaching pass along;

You must tell the world the story when the boys in blue are gone."

"You must keep each star unsullied and each stripe without a stain;

You must take the vet'rans' places and repeat their roll of fame;

You must keep our nation's honor and our flag above all wrong;

You must tell the world the story when the boys in blue are gone."
