Last Letter Home Lyrics

Mother, dear mother
It�s your oldest son
Head down on the front line
With my canteen and gun
My socks have gone rotten
My bread is all mold
It�s been a long winter
So barren and cold

Sisters, dear sisters
So young and so fair
Keep close our mother
And show much care
Listen to brother
He�s young, but a man
He�ll be there to guide you
When I no longer can

Brother, dear brother
It�s all on you now
Take care of the family
And keep the fields plowed
I pray every day
To be by your side
But my road is so clear now
This is my last fight

Father, our father
My life�s in your hands
Give strength to my family
They will need all they can
My one last request
As I kneel at your thrown
Be sure that they read this
My last letter home
