Halfway down the trail to hell in a shady meadow green are the Souls of all dead Troopers camped near a good old-time canteen, and this eternal resting place is known as Fiddlers' Green Marching past straight through to Hell the Infantry are seen accompanied by Engineers, Artillery and Marines, for none but the shades of Cavalrymen dismount at Fiddlers' Green Through some go curving down the trail to seek a warmer scene, no Trooper ever gets to Hell ere he's emptied his canteen and so rides back to drink again with friends at Fiddlers' Green And so when man and horse go down beneath a saber keen, or on roaring charge of fierce melee you stop a bullet clean and the hostiles come to get your scalp just empty your canteen, and put your pistol to your head and go to Fiddlers' Green |
