His country's blue great-coat he wore; Perhaps in the swamps 'twas a bed for his form, The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat, From the seven days' battling and marching sore, The old blue coat the soldier wore. Or w^th KEARNEY and POPE, 'mid the steely storm, Perhaps he was born in a forest hut, As the night closed in, that coat he wore; Perhaps he had danced on a palace floor; The blue great-coat,, the sky-blue coat, To want or wealth my eyes were shut, The old blue coat the soldier wore. I only marked the coat he wore ; Or when right over him JACKSON dashed* The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat, That collar or cape some bullet tore; The old blue coat the soldier wore. Or when far ahead Antietam flashed, He flung to the ground the coat that he wore; He might have no skill to read or write, The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat, Or he might be rich in learned lore ; But I knew he could make his mark in fight— The old blue coat the soldier wore. And nobler gown no scholar wore, Or stood at Gettysburg, where the graves Than the blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat, Bang deep to HOWARD'S cannon roar; The old blue coat the soldier wore. Or saw with GRANT the unchained waves, Where conquering hosts the blue coat wore;. It may be he could plunder and prowl, The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coal^.
