THE NATIONAL ARMY MAN

I’m a National army man; My name and number in the van Was call of fate to serve the state As a National army man. Take notice, Regular and Guard. W 8 pledge that nothing shall retard Our effort great to emulate Your just fame, sung by every bard. For what is the great U. S. A., Whose call to colprs we obey, . » But hearthflre ray, and old church gray, And the friends we meet every day? And what is the flag of our cjioico. At whose Mutterings we rejoice; v But mantel fair, fit for the wear Of the lass with gentle voice? Sans the fire of the volunteer, We pay with all good will and cheer. One duty more, to meet the score We owe to those whom we hold dear. As a National army man I’m sure that all my people can Say, when I die. In pride, that I Was a National army man. -Courier-Journal
