HOWl
HERE’S howl you regular army men,
Xhie drinking a toast to you;
(Hoping that Congress will let you stay,
Until we get all through)*
' For yours is a niche in theHall of Fame
That few of us over will reach;
You who hav© vision and courage enough
To practice whateveh we preach*
You‘ vs never failed when the call has cone,
\7hat ever the du ty b e,
Froxa the General down to thencwest buck,
At home or over the sea;
And when w<y show our gratitude
By playing particular hob
//ith your pay, your rations, your rank and file,
You still stay right on thejob.
In seventy-six, and eighteen-twelve,
And again in ninety-eight
Your buddies died that we might live
To call our tountry great.
And when in the greatest war of all,
^cu rightod humanity’s wrong,
JVe cheered a bit, and then said^”Now,
Go back wher$ you belong. *
Orders is orders, so back you went,
Matching I - -(it is to swear l
For we wouldn’t appropriate ra cney enough
is pay for your railroad fare.)
And that <yuoer-looking uniform--though once
tf© placed all cur faith therein—
Better leave it at home when you corn* tc town,
Uy people will stare and grin*
Well-~when you fade where old soldiers go
(You know that they never die,)
^ay find a permanent station there,
Arid a prison camp nearby
Vhere you can soe thankless citizens toil,
f At thepenance that is t heir due;
ore s howl you regular army men,
.VW8*re drinking a toast to yout
