Текст песни Okie Soldier - The Wilder Blue

Well, I turned 21 with my hands around a gun
Stumblin' through the burnin' fields of war
Chokin' on the dust and sand of a harsh and foreign land
I lost sight of just who I was before

Send my love to the Red River Valley
Sing a song from my Oklahoma home
Tell the one who's waitin' there with the long braid in her hair
When I come returnin', I'll be never more to roam

Well, I faced the enemy and he was just as brave as me
Through the night, we took the fight in turns
When our mortar cut him down, he lay groanin' on the ground
And we could not understand his dyin' words

Send my love to the Red River Valley
Sing a song from my Oklahoma home
Tell the one who's waitin' there with the long braid in her hair
When I come returnin', I'll be never more to roam

When they saw what we had done, they said we're proud of you son
You did what we brought you here to do
Will you fight with us again and I thought of my good man
And I signed my name and swore to see it through

Send my love to the Red River Valley
Sing a song from my Oklahoma home
Tell the one who's waitin' there with the long braid in her hair
When I come returnin', I'll be never more to roam
