Dedicated to the Grand Army.
Now. comrades. while you're silent. Il
you viii lint to me.
While relate my ~itty. of things we al
can see,
A poor. decrepit veteran, who pension
Is now ruled out by old Hokc Smith
after the war.
After the war was over. after we'd al
come home,
What grand old army of veterans. tina
nowhere else could lie shown;
but now things have changed so greatly
on them they would close the door,
We're nothing but old coffee coolers, al
tor tho war.
Now the old Grand Army can stop III
this. Il 1t only will sec fit.
by electing men to Congress. who nave
soldiers grit,
To give us all our deserts. through jus
and generous law.
And the veterans will all die happy
after the war.
For they're all getting old and feeble
their race IL nearly run.
So don't deny them pension which the,
have so dearly won.
II may keep then. out Of the loorhous
and help keep the wolf from the door
For they only asked what was promised
alter the war, .
so now my ditty's ended, and hope you'll
think Im riHht.
And tile only way 10 check them In Il
rise up in our might.
And show them by our ballots that what
we mean we dare. to fight
For II. II needs he. after the war
And after the wars are all overland we'v,
all left a good name behind.
hope our boys will ne'cr forget, btl
carry 1t out to the end,
And always stand mp for their country
AS their fathers did years before.
And may we Nil meet in Heaven, aite
