WE WORE THF GRAY,

How grand and noble was the ssett
When men who wore the gray
Stood aide by side with bay0neAg
bright
And eager for the frayl
We left our homes in sixty-cne.
Onr voung hearts light and gay.
Twas IN that year the war begun;
Twas then welcomed the gray.
We donned It at onr country's calls,
Onr Southland to defend;
We honned il, though hruve rnoa
must fall
Till cruel war shnnld end.
We wore " on the battle field.
We wore IT. IN the camn:
We wore II till comne'lad to yield
And homeward had to ramp.
We wore II in the summer davs.
We wore II in the hnrning rays.
We wore it to the Last.
We wore'it IN tho srow and sleet,
We wore II in the rain:
We wore It +oo with bleeding feet,
Our country's cause to gain.
We wore II then. we wear It still;
We wore il though we fell;
We loved 1t then and always viii,
The gray we love go we'll;
We wear II still and always will
as long as life shall last;
Well wear 1t on and on until
Our weary days have passed.
The years have gone and time has
passed,
Our country now at peace.
We hear no more the bugle blast.
Nor wish for war to ceaRe.
When life ia DER and we at rest,
Our forms are laid away.
IT will be said: "They did their best:
They wore the Dixie gray"
Wcstand beside the lonely grave Z.
And drop silent tear;
With heads bowed down for men -
brave
We breathe fervent prayer.
No more they hear the bugie call,
ITO arms," at reveill;
So now we let the curtain fall
On those who wore the gray.
And now. dear comrades, one and an.
Life's journey soon must end. -
We soon will ans wer to the call,
We soon will answer to the call;
Our souls to heaven ascend.
Kind friends will lay US gently down
Meath mother earth and clay.
Above our forms little stone
will tell: I'VE wore tho gray"
