Lillian, don't hang your head, love should make you feel good

In uniform you raised a man, who vol-un-teered to stand

Play the bugle, play the taps and

Make your mothers proud

Raise your rifles to the sky boys

Fire that volley loud
C F C F Am G C
News was bad on Upland Ave, metuchen and mourn our loss

Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled, and moth-ers clutched the cross

Play the bugle, play the taps and
