by Ernest Tubb [3/4 time]
Written by Sgt. Henry Stewart and Ernest Tubb
C G7
When the postman delivered a letter
C
It filled her dear heart full of joy
D7
But she didn't know till she read the inside
G7 C
It was the last one from her darling boy
G7
Dear Mom was the way that it started
C
I miss you so much it went on
D7
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so
G7 C
But I'll prove it when this war is won
G7
I'm writing this down in a trench Mom
C
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
D7
You know as you did when I was a kid
G7 C
And I'd come home with mud on my feet
G7
The captain just gave us our orders
C
And Mom we will carry them through
D7
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
G7 C
But now I'll just say I love you
G7
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
C
And she fought against tears in her eyes
D7
But they came unashamed for there was no name
G7 C
And she knew that her darling had died
G7
That night as she knelt by her bedside
C
She prayed Lord above hear my plea
D7
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
G7 C
And dear God keep America free
