it's the tramp of soliders' true

Speranza 1898 goodbye Dolly I must leave you tho’ it breaks my heart to go something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe see the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay hark I hear the bugle calling goodbye Dolly Gray. I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray, it's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray, there's a murmur in the air you can hear it everywhere, it's the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray. so if you hear the sound of feet, Dolly Gray, sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray, it's the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms so blue, I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray. -- Cobb and Barnes, written during the Spanish War.
