Soldier's Last Letter (feat. Johnny Cash)

When the postman delivered a letter

It filled her dear heart full of joy

But she didn't know 'til she read the inside

It was the last one from her darling boyDear Mom, was the way that it started

I miss you so much, it went on

Mom, I didn't know, that I loved you so

But I'll prove it when this war is wonI'm writing this down in a trench, 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 feetThe 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 youThen 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 diedThat 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"
