The Soldiers' Last Letter Sözleri

Artist/Band: Haggard Merle Guitar Chords/Tablatures

Song: Soldiers Last Letter Tablature for Guitar

As recorded by Merle Haggard and

originally Ernest Tubb

When the postman delivered a letter

And it filled her dear heart full of joy

Because she didn't know 'till she read the inside

It was the last one from her darlin' 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

So 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

And I'll finish this letter the first chance I get

But for now I'll just say I love you

The mother's old hands began to tremble

As she fought against tears in her eyes

But they came unashamed for there was no name

And she knew her poor darlin had died

That night as she knelt by her bedside

She prayed 'Lord above hear my plea and

Protect all the son's who are fighting to night

And dear God keep America free
