Dear God, keep America free
When the postman delivered a letter
It filled her dear heart full of joy
But she didn't know till 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
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 mod
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
You know as you did when I was a kid
And I'd come home with mud on my face
The captain just gave us our orders
And, we will carry them through
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
But now I'll just say I love you
And she fought against tears in her eyes
And she knew that her darling had died
That night as she knelt by her bedside
She prayed, Lord above, hear my plea
that are fighting tonight
And, dear God, keep America free!
