WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME.

There's happy time q coming
When the boys come home.
There's glorious day coming
When the boys come home.
We will end the dreadful story
OF this treason dark and CORY,
In a sun-bust of glory,
When the boys come home.
The day will seem brighter
When the boys come home
For our hearts will be lighter
When the boys come home.
Wives and sweethearts will press them
In their arms and caress them,
And pray God to bless them,
When the boys come home.
The thinned ranks will be proudest
When the boys come home.
And their cheer will be the loudest
When the boys come home.
The full ranks will be shattered,
And the bright arms battered,
And the battle standards tattered
When the boys come home.
Their bayonets may be rusty
When the boys come home.
And their uniforms be dusty
When the boys come home.
But all shall see the traces
OF battles royal graces
In the brown and bearded faces,
When the boys come home.
Our love shall go to meet them
When the boys come home.
To bless them and to greet them
When the boys come home.
And the fame of their endeavor,
Time and change shall not dissever,
From the nations heart forever,
When the boys come home.
