At mail call to-day love your last letter came, I just stood there smiling till they called my name; As I read it over my skies turned to grey, And tears dimmed my eyes love, at mail call today.
I can't understand love what happened to you, The day that I sailed love you said you'd be true; But now it's all over, what more can I say, My poor heart was broken at mail call today.
I slept in the foxhole amid shot and shell, I'm telling you darling it's worse than all hell; I thought you would wait love while I was away, But my castles tumbled at mail call today.
I hope you'll be happy with somebody new, But always remember my heart beats for you; Good luck and God bless you wherever you stray, The world for me ended at mail call today.
