Oh, I've just come From the land of the sun From a war that must be won In the name of truth With our soldiers so brave Your freedom we will save With our rifles and grenades And some help from God Well, I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone you see You just can't believe The joy I did receive When I finally got my leave I was going home Oh, I flew through the sky My convictions could not lie For my country I would die I will see it soon I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone you see When I walk through the door My wife, she lay upon the floor And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why Then I looked into her hand And I saw the telegram Said that I was a brave, brave man But that I was dead I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone you see I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone you see Well, I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone you see
