It is the morning I must leave My love once sat behind me Remember me each day I'm gone And send a prayer, All for the love of your soldier girl
I know not where the wind will blow I only know that I will follow To where the guns and tanks shall roll So far from home All for the love of your soldier girl All for the love, all for the love of your soldier girl
A rich girl she will go to school A poor girl has few chances To fight the demon poverty, for her family All for the love of your soldier girl All for the love, all for the love of your soldier girl
I walk beside my brother there My sister in her shoes If faltered we return today* From strains of war of us take care All for the love of your soldier girl All for the love, all for the love of your soldier girl All for the love, all for the love of your soldier girl
