Joe Pug - Bury Me Far lyrics

I was falling dead in battle Must have been Tuesday I don't know the date I did everything everyone asked for But I'll say where I'll be laid The many dead of my comrades all look the same in this place Won't you bury me far from my uniform So God might remember my face Don't bother with congress With the rich or with the rest I've fought their battles in this world I might fight for them in the next Do not find me justice Just find me a grave And then bury me far from my uniform So God might remember my face My mother, my mother you'll cry for me You'll weep with the next of our kin You must never to think of what is not and what could have been I'll not return to your table So don't save me a place Just bury me far from my uniform From the iron cross medal I would've worn From the statues that sisters and widows mourn From the newspaper clippings in micro-form From Geneva the (?) Nuremberg From the s** of this world that I'll no longer taste Won't you bury me far from my uniform So God might remember my face I know God will remember my face Merciful God please remember my face
