  Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Bugles  are calling from prairie  to shore,
  Sign  up and fall in and march  off to war.
  Blue  grass and cot  - ton, burnt and  forgotten
  All hope  seems gone  so soldiers  march on  to die.
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Bugles  are calling from prairie  to shore,
  Sign  up and fall in and march  off to war.
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  There  in the distance a flag  I can see,
  Scorched  and in ribbons but whose  can it be,
  How  ends the story,  whose is  the glory
  Ask if  we dare,  our comrades  out there  who sleep.
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
  Oooh Oooh
