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 | |
5 | 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 |
