ANSWER TO THE CAVALRY                   CHARGERS APPEAL

 

Blue Cross Ambulance

We've read your appeal, faithful charger

There is truth in the story you tell

So we're sending you on a subscription

And hope others will do so as well

You deserve all our help and pity

For you have helped our soldiers so true

To fight for thier dear countrys honour

And you have shared in the sorrows to

***

You have borne the brunt of battle bravely

Now you are badly wounded and torn

You want our kind care and attention 

And need rest for you body so worn

You shall have it, true hearted charger

We will tell of your right noble fall

Then others will help to restore you

And respond to your sad heartened call

                           

***

You are but a cavalry charger

Yet still the God that made us, made you

So we'll pray for you and your comrades

And we know God will answer us, too

We'll uphold the work of the 'Blue Cross'

We will do just as much as we can

To help you, dear cavalry charger

For we know you're the true friend of man
