John Barrowman - Tell My Father lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Tell my father that his son

Didn't run, or surrender

That I bore his name with pride

As I tried to remember

You are judged by what you do

While passing through

As I rest 'neath fields of green

Let him lean on my shoulder

Tell him how I spent my youth

So the truth could grow older

Tell my father when you can

I was a man

(Verse) (Repeat)

Tell him we will meet again

Where the angels learn to fly

Tell him we will meet as men

For with honor did I die

Tell him how I wore the Blue

Proud and true through the fire

Tell my father so he'll know

I love him so

(Chorus)

Tell him how we wore the blue

Proud and true like he taught us

Tell my father not to cry

Then say goodbye
