I didn't wanna be no soldier didn't wanna leave your side
Didn't wanna cross that ocean it's so deep and wide
Now I guess that I'm a bluest soldier in all Germany
Though I'm blue I'm a gonna be true you'll just write to me
You gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey
Say you love me time and time again honey
It's many a mile from Memphis to Berlin honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in
[ guitar - steel ]
Well you don't know how your letters tear me keep your mem'ry on my mind
Keep my heart from ever thinking about those cute frauleins
For every letter that you write me honey I'll write two
Keep let me know that you miss me so till I get home to you
You gotta keep those cards and letters...
You gotta keep those cards and letters...
