At Mail Call Today - Red Foley

At mail call today dear your last letter came

I just stood there smiling 'til they called my name

As I read it over the sky turned to grey

And tears dimmed my eyes love at mail call today

I can’t understand love what’s 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 now love it’s worse than all hell

I thought you would wait love while I was away

But my castle 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
