Intro
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore,
Sign up and fall in and march off to war.
Blue grass and cot - ton, burnt and forgotten
All hope seems gone so soldiers march on to die.
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore,
Sign up and fall in and march off to war.
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
There in the distance a flag I can see,
Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be,
How ends the story, whose is the glory
Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh
