Classic Poem

Gwine to march away in de gold band,
In de army, bye-and-bye; Gwine to march away in de gold band,
In de army, bye-and-bye.
Sinner, what you gwine to do dat day?
Sinner, what you gwine to do dat day?
When de fire's arolling behind you,
In de army, bye-and-bye.

Sister Mary gwine to hand down the robe,
In the army, bye-and-bye;
Gwine to band down the robe and the gold band,
In the army, bye-and-bye.
