Faded Coat Of Blue Lyrics - Singles - Jolie Holland

My brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue 

In a lonely silent grave lies the heart that beat so true 

He sank faint and hungry among the famish'd brave 

And they laid him sad and lonely within his nameless grave 

He cried, ";Give me water and just a little crumb 

And my mother she will bless you in all the years to come 

Oh! tell my sweet sister, so gentle, good and true 

That I'll meet her up in heaven, in my faded coat of blue." 

No more the bugle calls the weary one 

Rest, noble spirit in thy grave unknown 

I'll find you and know you among the good and true 

When a robe of white is giving for the faded coat of blue 

Long, long years have vanished, and though he comes no more 

Yet my heart will startling beat with each footfall at my door 

I gaze over the hill where he waved a last adieu 

But no gallant lad I see, in his faded coat of blue
