	THAT BUGLER;
	OR, THE UPIDEE SONG. Words by A. G. Knight.                Music by Arm and. The shades of night were falling fast, Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, The bugler blows that well-known blast Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, No matter should it rain or snow, That bugler he is bound to blow. He saw, as in their bunks they lay, Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, How soldiers spent the dawning day, Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, "There's too much comfort there," said he, " And so I'll blow the < Reveille.' " Chorus. In nice log huts he saw the light, Of cabin fires, warm and bright, The sight afforded him no heat, And so he sounded the " Retreat."
