when i got your letter baby
i was in a foxhole on my knees
oh yes i was
and your letter brought me so much strength
tell you what i did baby
oh you won’t believe it
i raised up and got me
two mo’ enemies
oh yes i did
listen that’s why
i believe that i’m gonna make it
tell everybody back home
i believe that i’m gonna make it
and baby i’ll be home before you can say
jackie robinson
oh yes i will yes i will
sometimes i wonder
do you really love me
then i’ll think of something sweet
you once said to me
and the thought makes me feel
so good inside
i raise up and get me
two mo’ enemies
listen baby
ooh oh baby
i wished a thousand times
that we had gotten married
before i left home for vietnam
but then when i see so many of my buddies
gettin’ shot down all around me
makes me kinda glad that we waited
because i don’t wanna leave you
at home being a widow no
i know you understand babe
listen darling
they promised me a furlough
on the fifteenth of next month
and i want you to say a prayer tonight
that my furlough will come through
so i can come home to be with you
and tomorrow oh tomorrow
go by and tell my mom and daddy
that i love ’em
and for ’em not to worry about me
listen
’cause i believe that i’m gonna make it
tell everybody back home
i believe that i’m gonna make it
and baby i’ll be home before you can say
batman and robin
