While surfing the net I found this
The Toast of Morgan's Men
General John Hunt Morgan, C.S.A.
THE TOAST OF MORGAN'S MEN
By Captain Thorpe, Kentucky

Unclaimed by the land that bore us,
Lost in the land, we find
The brave have gone before us;
Cowards are left behind.
Then stand to your glasses, steady;
Here's a health to those we prize.
Here's a toast to the dead already,
And here's to the next who dies.

The song was adapted from the Bartholomew Dowling poem
