0:19Tell my father
0:21That his son
0:24Didn't run or surrender
0:33That I bore his name with pride
0:38As I tried to remember
0:47You are judged by what you do
0:52While passing through
1:02As I rest 'neath fields of green
1:07Let him lean on your shoulder
1:17Tell him how I spent my youth
1:22So the truth could grow older
1:31Tell my father
1:33When you can
1:36I was a man
1:45Tell him we will meet again
1:51Where the angels learn to fly
2:00Tell him we will meet as men
2:05For with honor did I die
2:16Tell him how I wore the blue
2:21Proud and true
2:24Through the fire
2:30Tell my father
2:32So he'll know
2:35I love him so
3:14Tell him how I wore the blue
3:20Proud and true like he taught me
3:30Tell my father
3:32Not to cry
3:36Then say goodbye
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 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
