(Dear God keep America free)
|
When the postman delievered a letter it filled her dear heart full of joy
|
But she didn't know till she read the end sign
|
It was the last one from her darling boy
|
Dear mom was the way that it started I miss you so much it went on
|
Mom I didn't know that I love you so but I'll prove it when this war is won
|
I'm writing this down in a trensh mom don't scold if it isn't so neat
|
You know as 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 we will carry them through
|
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get but now I'll just say I love you)
|
|
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
|
And she fought against tears in her eyes
|
But they came unashamed for there was no name
|
And she knew that her darling had died
|
That night as she knelt by her bedside she prayed Lord above hear my plea
|
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
|
And dear God keep America free
|
