“Goodbye, My Blue Bell”

Description

"Goodbye, my Blue Bell, Farewell to you. One last fond look into your eyes so blue. 'Mid campfires gleaming, Through shot and shell, I will be dreaming Of my sweet Blue Bell."

Notes

Brown's informant thought this came from the Spanish-American War. Possible, but probably beyond proof. - RBW
