letra de finale - the civility of albert cashier

[ensemble member]
lay him in the arms of mother
gentle ground beneath the sky
dress him in his union coat
to meet his maker by and by
the soldier’s road is long and weary
many a mile he walks alone
when his final battle is won
the angels come and take him home

[jeffrey]
he’s in a dress. well that won’t do, no, not at all

[funeral attendant]
what’re you doing?

[jeffrey]
just get me the uniform

[ensemble]
bless the [?] earthly struggle
bless the children, pure as time
bless the one who journeys on
to meet his maker by and by
the soldier’s road is long and weary
many a mile he walks alone
when his final battle’s won
the angels come and take him home

[jeffrey and ensemble]
when his final battle’s won
the angels come and take him home

[jeffrey]
here lies albert d. j. cashier. he joined as a volunteer of company g of the 95th illinois regiment. he fought at memphis, and at vicksburg was captured. he escaped his captors, seized a gun, and outran the enemy until he rejoined his brothers on the union side of the line. once when our flag had fallen, he took it, climbed a tree, and hung it on the tallest branch and then continued in the fight. this was my friend, my possum, and my brother in arms. go with god, albert d. j. cashier. go with god

my brave boy sleeps in his faded coat of blue
in a lonely grave lies a heart that beat so true
he sang hungry among the famished brave
and they laid him sad and lonely within a nameless grave

[jeffrey and ensemble]
no more the bugle calls the weary one
rest n-ble spirits in their graves unknown
we’ll find you among the good and true
in a robe of white for his faded coat of blue
[young albert]
what will you fight for?

give your life for?

i can’t deny i’ve heard the call
what will you fight for?

give your life for?

i can’t deny i’ve heard the call
i can’t deny i’ve heard the call [jeffrey and ensemble]
my brave boy sleeps in his faded coat of blue
in a lonely grave lies a heart that beat so true
i can’t deny i’ve heard the call
no more the bugle calls the weary one
rest n-ble spirits in their graves unknown
i can’t deny i’ve heard the call
i can’t deny i’ve heard the call

[young albert]
what will you fight for?

[everyone]
i can’t deny i’ve heard the call
