The Soldiers' Last Letter şarkı sözleri

The postman delivered a letter And it filled her old heart full of joy But she didn't know 'till she read the inside It was the last one from her darlin' boy. Dear Mom was the way that it started, I love you so much it went on Mom I didn't know that I loved you so But I'll prove it when this war is won. I'm writing this down in a trench Mom Don't scold if it isn't so neat The way that you did when I was a kid And I'd come home with mud on my feet The captain just gave us our orders And Mom I will carry them through And I'll finish this letter the first chance I get But for now I'll just say I love you The mother's old hands began to tremble As she fought against tears in her eyes But they came unashamed for there was no name And she knew that her darlin had died That night as she knelt by her bedside She prayed 'God above hear my plea Protect all the boys that are fighting this war And dear God keep America free
