When The Regiment
Lett Home

When the band is playing gayly,
And when it plays Tramp, Tramp
My thoughts go far a wandering,
And are miles away from camp.
Many things cross my vision,
Many familiar objects / see;
But they always turn back to Mother,
Father, Sister, Brother and Thee.
When last | saw them plainly,
Well will I remember the day;
1t was at old Camp Ricketts,, at Pitts
ton,
When we were preparing to go away,
Trucks and teams were hauling our
baggage,
Men were hustling everywhere;
But in all the din and hustle,
Mother, Father, Sister, Brother and
you were there.
The boys were chatting happily,
Tho through each brave mans heart
Many pang and pain was passing,
At the thought of being forced apart.
Wen were they willing to face the
foe;
Even when they heard the bugle calling
And knew that it was time to 60
Fist came the bugle calling,
Like the bolt out of the sky;
Next came the Sergeant's Fall In
They all were saying good -bye.
a moment of confusion was apparent,
While men kissed them all;
attention" came like n roar of finn
der
And he stood so stately and tall
Squads Right" was next in order
And they were right on the dot
The boys who were going away,
Scme coming back-and some not.
,"hey swept past the crowd with a
That brought cheer after cheer to the
lips;
SO stately and tall were they marching.
All wished them God-speed on their
trip.
Down the Avenue they swung.
Keeping in step with the band;
Passing through a lane of masses.
Going to fight for God and land.
And when they climbed into the
coaches,
And the noise and the din left be-
hind;
and they thought no one was watching,
cloud came over their mind.
lump was mounting in their throat,
And to swallow was very hard;
And to keep UP his spirits,
Each man joked with his pard.
The train bore them away smiling.
With nothing for them to regret;
And left an impression everlasting,
That none of them will ever forget.
And now they ere waiting for orders,
Camping in DiXie's sand;
Waiting and Tuning and fretting and
training,
For the fight in a foreign land.
1t matters not, where we are sent,
My thoughts will always roam;
And go back to that time at Camp
Ricketts,,
When the regiment and boys left
home

ALETTER FROM OLD PA

When it's highway in Dixie,
And the sun has gone to rest,
Then my thoughts begin a drifting
Back to the one 1 love the best.
How my spirit it did quicken,
When the sergeant said today,
Here, old top, you get a letter
From friend in old Pa.
Then l went off by my lonesome,
From my friends l turned away
Because | knew you wrote the letter
When the post mark said Pa.
When 1 read the dear old letter
From you so far away,
Sure it made my soul much better
Cause it came from old Pa.
Then in my bosom tucked it,
And its there that it will stay
Till the ruthless sneal1ing Kaiser
Damns the day we left Pa.

Bring the good old bugle boys, Wen

About the good old u. S. A, the land

For we're Uncle Sammies' nephews

That's why we're training in Georgia.
CHORUS.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We're going DER the

Hurrah! Hurrah! Wen win a victory.
We are soldiers in the malzing-for a

While we are training in Georgia.

And all the other despots have been
