When I got your letter baby I was in a foxhole on my knees (Oh yes, I was) And your letter brought me so much strength
Tell you what I did, baby (Oh, you won't believe it) I raised up and got me Two mo' enemies (Oh yes, I did)
Listen, that's why I believe that I'm gonna make it (Tell everybody back home) I believe that I'm gonna make it And baby, I'll be home before you can say Jackie Robinson (Oh yes, I will, yes, I will)
Sometimes I wonder Do you really love me Then I'll think of something sweet You once said to me
And the thought makes me feel So good inside I raise up and get me Two mo' enemies
Listen, baby (Ooh, oh baby) I wished a thousand times That we had gotten married Before I left home for Vietnam
But then when I see so many of my buddies Gettin' shot down all around me Makes me kinda glad that we waited Because I don't wanna leave you At home being a widow, no I know you understand, babe
Listen darling They promised me a furlough On the fifteenth of next month And I want you to say a prayer tonight That my furlough will come through
So I can come home to be with you And tomorrow, oh tomorrow Go by and tell my mom and daddy That I love 'em And for 'em not to worry about me
Listen, 'Cause I believe that I'm gonna make it Tell everybody back home I believe that I'm gonna make it And baby, I'll be home before you can say Batman and RobinTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
