TEXT V

  Oh, I’ve just come from the land of the sun
  From a war that must be won
  In the name of truth
  With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
  With our rifles and grenades
  And some help from God
  I want to see my family
  My wife and child waiting for me
10  I’ve got to go home
  I’ve been so alone you see
  You just can’t believe
  The joy I did receive
  When I finally got my leave
15  And I was going home
  Oh, I flew through the sky
  My convictions could not lie
  For my country I would die
  And I will see it soon
20  When I walked through the door
  My wife she laid upon the floor
  And with tears her eyes were sore
  I did not know why
  Then I looked into her hand
25  And I saw the telegram
  Said that I was a brave, brave man
  But that I was dead
