A health to the old guard boys,
A health to the brave old guard,
Who gave their time and their life and means,
With hope of no reward.
Who battled long 'gainst Mammon's might,
Like veterans true and tried,
Who dared to fight for love of right,
'Tho they fought on the losing Bide.
A health to the old guard boys,
A health to the brave old guard,
We little know how much we owe,
To these veterans battle scarred;
But when the fight is won at lsst,
The world will place each name
Away up hih for future's eye,
On the deathless roll of fame.
