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 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 And I was going home Oh I flew through the sky My convictions could not lie For my country I would die And 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 walked 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 That 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
