Hang out the flag, the dear old flag,
upon the outer wall
When sounds again the shrill toned
fife, the bugles mallow call,
Once more the veterans fill the ranks
and tramp with footsteps slow
To honor dead who tramped with them
some thirty years ago.
They hide no hatred in their hearts for
those who wore the gray,
But comrades of bygone years will bind
brave hearts for aye.
With those who struggled side by side
fraternal love must grow
As ranks grow thin of those who march
ed some thirty years ago.
