Red, White,
and Blue was their Shroud
Red, and Blue was their Shroud
Say, here's a medal
made of shining gold
Your son is a dead nineteen years old
Hey, hey, mama, ain't you proud?
Red, and blue was his shroud
Where, oh, where does he lie?
Where, oh, where does he lie?
He lies all in some foreign land
He left a boy, but he died a man
Hey, hey, daddy, ain't you proud?
Red, and blue was his crown
Told his sweet girl bye -bye
Told his sweet girl bye -bye
He said, I'll be back,
he didn't know he lied
He called her name before he died
Hey, sweet girl, ain't you proud?
Told his sweet girl bye -bye
Red, white and blue was his shroud
Black silk was his mama's shroud
Black silk was his mother's shroud
Say she died a broken heart from
her son she could not part
Hey, hey, people ain't too proud
Silk was his mother's shroud
Red, white and blue was his shroud
Red, and blue, red, white,
and blue was his shroud.
Red, white, and blue, red, white,
and blue was his shroud.
