Additional lyrics:
Bright Golden Buttons verse II:
Oh, the trumpets are blowing
But you'll not be going
You'll stay here so safe
And warm in your bed
For the last time you heard them
You marched off behind them
Now your bright golden buttons
Have all turn to red
Oh, the cannons are screaming
Or is it my dreaming
Young men will stumble
And fall in the dust
And the cheers turn to crying
When life turns to dying
And bright golden buttons
Have all turned to rust
First Battalion bridge II:
So hold him close and keep him warm
And hang his coat away
And don't you mind that spot of red
That's spread in through the gray
Yes, I See verse II:
Clouds are gathered in the darkness
There's a tempest drawing near
When the darkness has passed over
Then the new day will appear
And I see, and I see
On the last day of July
Yes I see, yes I see
On the last day of July
