Lyrics Soldier's Last Letter - George Jones
Written
by
Redd
Stewart
and
Ernest
Tubb
When
the
postman
delivered
the
letter
Well,
it
filled
her
old
heart
full
of
joy
But
she
didn't
know
'til
she
read
the
inside
It
was
the
last
one
from
her
darling
boy
"Dear
Mom,"
was
the
way
that
it
started
"I
miss
you
so
much,"
it
went
on
"And,
Mom,
I
didn't
know
that
I
loved
you
so
But
I'll
prove
it
when
this
war
is
won"
"I'm
writing
this
down
in
a
trench,
Mom
So
don't
scold
if
it
isn't
so
neat
For
you
know
as
you
did,
when
I
was
a
kid
And
would
come
home
with
mud
on
my
feet"
"Well,
the
captain
just
gave
us
our
orders
And
mom
we
will
carry
them
through
I'll
finish
this
letter
the
first
chance
I
get
But
for
now
I'll
just
say
I
love
you"
Then
the
mother's
old
hands
began
to
tremble
As
she
fought
against
tears
in
her
eyes
For
they
came
unashamed,
there
was
no
name
And
she
knew
that
her
darlin'
had
died
That
night
as
she
knelt
by
her
bedside
She
prayed,
"Lord
above,
hear
my
plea
Protect
all
the
sons
that
are
fighting
tonight
And
dear
God
keep
America
free"...
