I rode my shabby bike down empty streets,
I rode my shabby bike down empty streets,
To fly my flag on Veteran's day─ no war.
To fly my flag on Veteran's day─ no war.
No flag to fly on my bike, war down streets.
My shabby Veteran's day, empty I rode.
Wet, drops and drizzle, soaked through Spanish-moss.
Wet, drops and drizzle, soaked through Spanish-moss.
The sky is filled with gloom─ grey faces too.
The sky is filled with gloom─ grey faces too.
Drizzle through; Spanish-moss is soaked and filled.
The sky drops grey faces, wet too with gloom
Uniforms walk in park, soldiers, brothers.
Uniforms walk in park, soldiers, brothers.
Unit flags with battle streamers jingle.
Unit flags with battle streamers jingle.
Unit flags jingle; streamers; walk in park.
Soldiers battle brothers in uniforms.
Soaked soldiers faces. My grey bike fly
Spanish-moss drops down to empty park streets
Unit in uniform walk through drizzle
The sky is filled with flags, my shabby flag too
Brothers, I rode wet with battle and gloom
On Veteran's day no war streamers jingle.
