Tell My Father

Tell my father that his son didn't run or surrender That I bore his name with pride As I tried to remember That you are judged by what you do While passing through As I rest 'neath fields of Green Let him lean on your shoulder Tell him how I spent my youth So the truth could grow older Tell my father when you can I was a man 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 I wore the blue Proud and true like he taught me Tell my father not to cry Then say goodbye
