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 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 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
