A Soldiers Letter by Merle Haggard
A Soldiers Letter
[Refrain]
C G
I'm writing this down in a trench, mom
C
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
D
The way that you did when I was a kid
G C
And I'd come home with mud on my feet
[Verse 1]
C G
The captain just gave us our orders
C
And Mom I will carry them through
D
And I'll finish this letter, the first chance I get
G C
But for now I'll just say, I love you
[Verse 2]
C G
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
C
And she fought against tears in her eyes
D
But they came unashamed 'cause there was no name
G C
And she knew that her soldier had died
[Verse 3]
C G
And then she knelt down by her bedside
C
And she prayed, Lord above hear my plea
D
Protect all the soldiers who are fighting tonight
G C
And dear God, keep America free
[Refrain]
