o'er you as they Clowered you Gdown Did the Cbugles play The

*

Last Post in Dchorus

*

Did the Gpipes play The CFlowers Of The DFor-Gest
And did Gyou leave a

*

wife or a Csweetheart be-Amhind In Dsome faithful

*

heart is your Gmemory en-Dshrined GAnd though you

*

died back in Cnineteen-six-
