Ernest Tubb - Missing In Action Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The warship had landed and night come ashore
  • The fighting was over for me ever more
  • For I had been wounded they left me forget
  • A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
  • The enemy found me and took me away and made me a prisoner of war so they say
  • But God in his mercy was with me one day the gate was left open and I ran away
  • I returned to the old home my sweet wife to see
  • The home I had built for my darling and me
  • The door I then opened and there on the stand I saw a picture of her and the man
  • The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale
  • My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
  • Then I found a letter and these words I read missing in action she thought I was dead
  • [ steel ]
  • So I kissed her picture and whispered goodbye
  • My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
  • I knew it was too late for her now to learn
  • I knew she must never know I had returned
  • A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
  • Because there was no one to welcome me home
  • The face of my darling no more I shall see for missing in action forever I'll be
