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