verse 1
The hearse was driving slowly , As it left his home
He had no friends to talk too , He was all alone
*
Nobody turned up at his funeral , He was buried in a pauper's grave
This man had served his country , In Korea and in Vietnam

chorus1
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

verse2
He had medals from the president , They found them in his van
His purple heart was priceless , He wore it with so much pride

An old buddy saw it in the paper , And had him buried in his own grave
The white house got wind of it , And put a headstone on his grave

chorus2
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

verse3
The words on the headstone said , This man is a national hero
He was so patriotic , And he really was so brave
*
The governor made it his business , To support the vets
His family came forward , With so much sadness and regrets

chorus3
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

end
This man was a national hero , Which society had forgot
