The Postman knocked and waited for a sweet face to appear
A face that showed her heart was full of joy,
could this be the letter that she had waited for, and would it tell her that he was alright
The address on the corner,of the envelope of blue
Told her that her darling son was dead
where Jimmy;s name and number ,had always been before,his Captain's name was written there instead
Dear GOD please rest my darling's soul,I know he,s there with you
She prayed a humble prayer to GOD that night
Place on his grave a blooming rose,so all the world
will know
My soldier boy has won his robe of white
