The Faded Coat Of Blue - Slim Dusty

Lyricist：Carter

Composer：Carter

My brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue

In a lonely silent grave lies

The heart that beat so true

He sank faint and hungry

Among the famish'd brave

And they laid him sad

And lonely within his nameless grave

He cried

Give me water and just a little crumb

And my mother she will bless

You in the many years to come

Oh tell my kind sister

So gentle and so true

That I'll meet her up in heaven

In my faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit in thy grave unknown

I'll know you and find you

Among the good and true

When a robe of white is giving for

The faded coat of blue

Long years have vanished

And though he comes no more

Yet my ansis heart will stop

With each footfall at my door

I gaze over hill tops

Where he waved a last adieu

But no gallant lad I see

In his faded coat of blue

No more the bugle calls the weary one

Rest noble spirit in thy grave unknown

I'll know you and find you among the good and true

When a robe of white is giving

For the faded coat of blue
