  SOLDIER'S LAST LETTER

  Recorded by Ernest Tubb

  Written by Sgt. Henry Stewart and Ernest Tubb

  

  [C] When the postman delivered a [G] letter

  It filled her dear heart full of [C] joy

  But she didn't know til she [D] read the inside

  It was the [G] last one from her darling [C] boy.

  

  Dear 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 won.

  

  I'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 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 knealt 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.
