Earlsgirl Lyr Req: Soldier's Last Letter (Ernest Tubb) (12) Mother's prayer? 30 Sep 01


My grandfather used to sing a song and I searched and could not find anything. It went like this...

I'm writing this down in a foxhole
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
The way that you did when I was a kid
And I'd come in with mud on my feet.....
That night as she knelt by her bed side
She prayed, "Oh dear God hear my plea.
Protect all the boys who are fighting tonite
And dear God keep America free."

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
