The Story Of A Soldier Lyrics - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Ennio Morricone

Bugles are calling from prairie to shore 

Sign up and fall in and march off to war 

Drums beating loudly, hearts beating proudly 

March blue and gray and smile as you go 

Smoke hides the valleys and fire paints the plains 

Loud roar the cannons till ruin remains 

Blue grass and cotton burnt and forgotten 

All hope seems gone so, soldier, march on to die 

Count all the crosses and count all the tears 

These are the losses and sad souvenirs 

This devastation once was a nation 

So fall the dice, how high is the price 

There in the distance a flag I can see 

Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be 

How ends the story, whose is the glory 

Ask if we dare our comrades out there who sleep

These are the losses and sad souvenirs 

This devastation once was a nation 

So fall the dice, how high is the price we pay
