Lyrics
When I was just a rookie my uniform was new
It fit without a wrinkle I wore it proud and true
My boots were highly polished my brass was shiney too
The leather of my gun belt was black and squeaky new
My gun and badge were perfect and I was perfect too
I stood erect and solid I had a job to do
Goodbye my faithful brothers my prayers are now with you
To keep you safe from evil in everything you do
And those who've gone before you will walk that beat with you
So long farewell my brothers may God watch over you
But now my fight is over the battle goes to you
And what is yet unfinished won't even end with you
My uniform is tattered my boots is not so new
This badge I've worn so proudly I'm passing on to you
My deeds have kept it shining my faith has kept it new
So wear it now with honor that's what you've sworn to do
Goodbye my faithful brothers my prayers are now with you
To keep you safe from evil in everything you do
And those who've gone before you will walk that beat with you
So long farewell my brothers may God watch over you
