Subject: Name of Civil War tune?
I am looking for the name and words to a civil war tune I remember hearing when I was a child. It is about two boys, maby brothers, who grew up friends, fell in love,went to war and both were killed in battle. The part of the song I remember was . The verse in which they were killed ends with - maby- one girl mourned a coat of blue and the other a coat of grey. It was such a sas, sweet song and I would appreciate any information anyone has. I have searched for this song for a long time. Thanks!
