Thread Name: Lyr Req: Break the News to Mother
Subject: can anyone tell me the name of this song
I am looking for the title of a song for a friend. The lyrics go something like : When the shot and shell were screaming across the battlefield, the boys in blue were marching their noble flag to shield, when came the crazy cry from a brave captain "Look boys the flag is down, who'll volunteer to save it from disgrace?" and the chorus is : Just break the news to mother she knows how dearly I love her........There is more but the lyrics escape me. Would be thankfull of any information that anyone can give.
