Bury Me Far Lyrics - Messenger - Joe Pug

I was falling dead in battle 

Must have been Tuesday 

I don't know the date 

I did everything everyone asked for 

But I'll say where I'll be laid 

The many dead of my comrades 

all look the same in this place 

Won't you bury me far from my uniform 

So God might remember my face 

Don't bother with congress 

With the rich or with the rest 

I've fought their battles in this world 

I might fight for them in the next 

Do not find me justice 

Just find me a grave 

And then bury me far from my uniform 

So God might remember my face 

My mother, my mother you'll cry for me 

You'll weep with the next of our kin 

You must never to think of 

what is not and what could have been 

I'll not return to your table 

So don't save me a place 

Just bury me far from my uniform 

From the iron cross medal I would've worn 

From the statues that sisters and widows mourn 

From the newspaper clippings in micro-form 

From Geneva the (?) Nuremberg 

From the sex of this world that I'll no longer taste 

Won't you bury me far from my uniform 

So God might remember my face 

I know God will remember my face 

Merciful God please remember my face
