SOLDIER        SONGS
And that's the kind that Miles has been; he never ducked or
flinched; He was always in the mix-up when the lines of battle clinched; He's whipped out Rebs and redskins and he's made some Dagos
dance, And he's good for lots more nghtin' if he ever gets the chance. And here's the moral to this talk — I'll ask no price, but thanks: Miles may not have a stand-in, but he's solid with the ranks!
Back there in Washington, people may stare, Easy-chair officers sputter and swear, Bureaucrats legislate — what do we care? Down in the ranks we don't follow the styles; Here's a health to the General, Nelson A. Miles!
