Ernest Tubb Miscellaneous Missing In Action (1952) The warships had landed and I came ashore The fighting was over for me evermore For I had been wounded, they left me for dead A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed The enemy found me and took me away And made me a prisoner of war so they say But God in his mercy was with me one day The gate was left open and I ran away I returned to the old home, my sweet wife to see The home I had built for my darling and me The door was left open and there on a stand I saw a picture of her and a man The clothes she was wearing told me a sad tale My darling was wearing a new bridal veil Then I found a letter and these words I read Missing in action she thought I was dead So I kissed her picture and whispered good-bye My poor heart was breading but my eyes were dry I know she'd be happy if she never learned I know she must never know I had returned A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam Because there was no one to welcome me home The face of my darling no more will I see For missing in action forever I'll be |
