Soldiers Last Letter - Ernest Tubb[00:00:00]
When the postman delivered a letter[00:00:14]
It filled her dear heart full of joy[00:00:22]
But she didn't know a 'til she read the inside[00:00:29]
It was the last one from her darling boy[00:00:36]
Dear Mom was the way that it started[00:00:43]
I miss you so much it went on[00:00:51]
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so[00:00:58]
But I'll prove it when this war is won[00:01:05]
I'm writing this down in a trench Mom[00:01:12]
Don't scold if it isn't so neat[00:01:19]
You know as you did when I was a kid[00:01:27]
And I'd come home with mud on my feet[00:01:35]
The captain just gave us our orders[00:01:42]
And Mom we will carry them through[00:01:49]
I'll finish this letter[00:01:57]
The first chance I get[00:02:01]
But now I'll just say I love you[00:02:04]
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble[00:02:11]
And she fought against tears in her eyes[00:02:19]
But they came unashamed for there was no name[00:02:26]
And she knew that her darling had died[00:02:34]
That night as she knelt by her bedside[00:02:41]
She prayed Lord above hear my plea[00:02:49]
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight[00:02:56]
And dear God keep America free[00:03:03]
