TELL MY MOM
MOTHER PLEASE, DO NOT CRY,
YOUR COUNTY SENT YOUR BOY TO DIE.
ON A BATTLEFIELD HIS BLOOD WAS SHED,
YOUR SON, A HERO, NOW LIES DEAD.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND ME,
HE FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.
AS I SAT THEIR AT HIS SIDE,
HE WHISPERED THESE WORDS BEFORE HE DIED,
I'LL FIND PEACE IN HEAVEN, THIS I KNOW,
PLEASE TELL MY MOTHER I HAD TO GO,
TELL HER THAT I FELT NO PAIN,
AND THAT I DID NOT DIE IN VANE.
THAT I WAS PROUD WITH MY LAST BREATH,
TO DIE AN HONORABLE SOLDIERS DEATH,
MOTHER PLEASE, DO NOT CRY FOR ME,
I GAVE MY LIFE FOR OUR COUNTRY,
I'LL STAND WITH THOSE THAT WENT BEFORE,
WITH ALL THE BOYS THAT DIED IN WAR,
I'M SORRY MOM, I WILL MISS YOU TOO,
PLEASE REMEMBER ALWAYS, HOW I LOVED YOU.
ON A BATTLEFIELD HIS BLOOD WAS SHED,
YOUR SON, A HERO, NOW LIES DEAD,
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND ME,
HE DIED IN COMBAT TO KEEP US FREE.
