BUFFALO SOLDIERS RIDE, RIDE, RIDE ...

Once a Buffalo Soldier

Always a Buffalo Soldier

No Buffalo Soldier just dies

Buffalo Soldiers live forever

Cmdr Ulysses Moore - a Buffalo Soldier

Stood tall, brave and spoke to the Truth

Everyday of his life on this Earth

Buffalo Soldier Cmdr Ulyssses Moore 

Lived a rich life here in San Francisco

He owned his own hotel

Where most Blacks could stay

In those days of division and divisiveness

On every Memorial Day Cmdr Ulyssess Moore

Honored the hundreds of Buffalo Soldiers and others

At the Presidio of San Francisco

National Veterans Cemetery

A flag on the tomb stone for those he cared and loved

Our dear friend is no more
Gone to the side at the age ninety seven

No Buffalo Soldier dies in vain

Cmdr Ulysses Moore served this Nation

With great honor and pride

To his dying day he wanted everyone united

To leave a museum, some deep legacy to the Buffalo Soldiers

Alone he achieved this, he knew the way, he showed the way,

 he led the way

Good bye good friend - thanks for your friendship -

for the deep memories

Farewell Cmdr Ulyssess Moore

No Buffalo Soldier just dies - they ride, ride, ride  .....

Till we meet again

We all salute your dear friend

Francisco Da Costa
