Soldier's Last Letter - Ernest Tubb[00:00:00]
Written by:Ernest Tubb/Henry Stewart[00:00:02]
When the postman delivered a letter[00:00:14]
It filled her dear heart full of joy[00:00:21]
But she didn't know till she read the inside[00:00:29]
It was the last one from her darling boy[00:00:35]
Dear mom was the way that it started[00:00:43]
I miss you so much it went on[00:00:50]
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so[00:00:57]
But I'll prove it when this war is won[00:01:04]
I'm writing this down in a trench mom[00:01:11]
Don't scold if it isn't so neat[00:01:18]
You know as you did when I was a kid[00:01:26]
And I'd come home with mud on my feet[00:01:33]
The captain just gave us our orders[00:01:41]
And mom we will carry them through[00:01:48]
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get[00:01:55]
But now I'll just say I love you[00:02:02]
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble[00:02:09]
And she fought against tears in her eyes[00:02:16]
But they came unashamed for there was no name[00:02:24]
And she knew that her darling had died[00:02:31]
That night as she knelt by her bedside[00:02:38]
She prayed Lord above hear my plea[00:02:46]
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight[00:02:53]
And dear God keep America free[00:03:00]
