When i got your letter baby
I was in a foxhole on my knees
(oh yes i was)

And your letter brought me so much strength
Tell you what i did, baby
(oh, you won't believe it)

I raised up and got me
Two mo' enemies
(oh yes i did)


Listen, that's why
I believe that i'm gonna make it

(tell everybody back home)
I believe that i'm gonna make it
And baby i'll be home before you can say

Jackie robinson
(oh yes i will, yes i will)


Sometimes i wonder
Do you really love me
Then i'll think of something sweet

You once said to me
And the thought makes me feel
So good inside

I raise up and get me
Two mo' enemies


Listen, baby (ooh, oh baby)
I wished a thousand times
That we had gotten married

Before i left home for vietnam
But then when i see so many of my buddies
Getting' shot down all around me

Makes me kinda glad that we waited
Because i don't wanna leave you
At home being a widow, no

I know you understand, babe

Listen darling

They promised me a furlough on the fifteenth of next month
And i want you to say a prayer tonight
That my furlough will come through

So i can come home to be with you
And tomorrow, oh tomorrow
Go by and tell my mom and daddy

That i love 'em
And for 'em not to worry about me


Listen,
'cause i believe that i'm gonna make it
Tell everybody back home

I believe that i'm gonna make it
And baby i'll be home before you can say
Batman and robin
