Forgotten Men

Performed by Don Reno & Red Smiley
Recorded August 27, 1956

Forgotten men who lie asleep across the ocean waves
Who fought and died for the flag that waves across their lonely graves

The flag still waves so proud and free across our land today
Let's not forget the boys who died across the watery spray

Forgotten men who lie asleep across the ocean waves
Who fought and died for the flag that waves across their lonely graves

Her picture hangs upon the wall but their names are not mentioned back home
As the year go by our memories dim, we forget our loved ones are gone

Forgotten men who lie asleep across the ocean waves
Who fought and died for the flag that waves across their lonely graves
