When the postman delivered [Ab] a letter, it filled a mom's heart [Db] full of joy.
But she didn't know till [Eb] she read the inside, it was [Ab] the last one from her [Db] darling boy.
Dear mom was the way [Ab] that it started, I missed you so much it [Db] went on.
But I didn't know [Eb] that I loved you so, but [Ab] I'll prove it when this war [Db] is won.
I'm writing this down [Ab] in a trench mom, don't scold if it isn't [Db] so neat.
Just think as you did [Eb] when I was a kid, and I [Ab] would come home with hood on [Db] my feet.
Our captain just gave us [Ab] our order, and mom we must carry [Db] them through.
I'll finish this letter, [Eb] the first chance I get, but [Ab] for now I'll just say [Db] I love you.
The mother's old hands [Ab] began to tremble, as she bawled against tears [Db] in her eyes.
But they came unashamed, [Eb] for there was no name, [Ab] so she knew that her darling [Db] had died.
That night as she knelt [Ab] by her bedside, she prayed Lord above [Db] hear my plea.
And help every son [Eb]
that's fighting tonight, [Ab] and dear God keep [Db] America free.
