For my country I would die and I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've been so alone, you see
I've been so alone, you see
And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why
I want to see my family
I want to see my family
I've been so alone, you see
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save
My wife and child waiting for me
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
I've got to go home
My wife and child waiting for me
I've been so alone, you see
I want to see my family
You just can't believe the joy I did receive
I've got to go home
I've got to go home
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
I've got to go home
Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead
Oh I flew through the sky my convictions could not lie
