With friends let him remain | I2 |

In Eight Michigan Cavalry | L |
This boy he did enlist | O |

In northern Alabama I hear | X |
There came this dreadful blow | D2 |

How joyful were the parents of | J2 |
Those noble soldier boys | G |
There was one missing of the five | M2 |
When they returned from war | C |
The one that carried the Union flag | R |
Lies in a Southern grave | N2 |
The other brothers came back home | C2 |
To Grand Rapids their native place | O2 |
