Tell My Father - From "The Civil War"

Tell my father that his son
 Didn't run or surrender
 That I bore his name with pride
 As I tried to remember
 You are judged by what you do
 While passing through
 As I rest 'neath fields of green
 Let him lean on your shoulder
 Tell him how I spent my youth
 So the truth could get older
 Tell my father, when you can
 I was a man
 Tell him we will meet again
 Where the angels learn to fly
 Tell him we will meet as men
 For with honor did I die
 Tell him how I wore the blue
 Proud and true, through the fire
 Tell my father so he'll know
 I love him so
 Tell him how I wore the blue
 Proud and true, like he taught me
 Tell my father not to cry
 Then say goodbye
