TEXT V
| Oh, I’ve just come from the land of the sun | |
| From a war that must be won | |
| In the name of truth | |
| With our soldiers so brave | |
| 5 | Your freedom we will save |
| With our rifles and grenades | |
| And some help from God | |
| I want to see my family | |
| My wife and child waiting for me | |
| 10 | I’ve got to go home |
| I’ve been so alone you see | |
| You just can’t believe | |
| The joy I did receive | |
| When I finally got my leave | |
| 15 | And I was going home |
| Oh, I flew through the sky | |
| My convictions could not lie | |
| For my country I would die | |
| And I will see it soon | |
| 20 | When I walked through the door |
| My wife she laid upon the floor | |
| And with tears her eyes were sore | |
| I did not know why | |
| Then I looked into her hand | |
| 25 | And I saw the telegram |
| Said that I was a brave, brave man | |
| But that I was dead |
