I'll be coming home soon
battle grasp in hand
Troubled mind and torn flesh
but victory for the land.
I know your tears have been many
your smile will be new
Yes, the times have been hard
but from them we grew.
I'll be coming home soon
For the battle we've won.
I think I'll go fishing
And retire this old gun.
Do birds still chatter in
That old maple tree?
What about dad's old dog
Think he still remembers me?
I'll be coming home soon
Victory in hand
And I know you will be proud
Because we saved the land.
I'm reminded of, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again… Hurrah… Hurrah.
