Tell My Father from the musical Civil War is a heartwrenching song sung by a soldier wishing to let his father know that he died a man.
Lyrics:
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 your shoulder
Tell him how I spent my youth
So the truth could grow older
Tell my father, when you can
I was a man
Tell him we will meet again
Where the angels learn to fly
Tell him we will meet as men
For with honour did I die
Tell him I wore the blue
Proud and true, through the fire
Tell my father so he’ll know
I love him so
Tell him how I wore the blue
Just the way that he taught me
Tell my father not to cry
Then say goodbye
