Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
It's the flag of the country I love so
Tell my buddies not to falter, tell them of my last request
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
It was on the fields of battle in the South Korean isles
There a dying boy we knew as G.I. Joe
As his buddies wrapped around just to hear his last request
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
It's the flag of the country I love so
Tell my buddies not to falter, tell them of my last request
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
In his pack there was a letter written to his folks back home
He said mail it so my mom and dad will know
That I died for precious liberty we all cherish so
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
It's the flag of the country I love so
Tell my buddies not to falter, tell them of my last request
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
It's the flag of the country I love so
Tell my buddies not to falter, tell them of my last request
Wrap my body in Old Glory when I go
