MY DEAREST MAMA
THEY JUST GAVE US
TIME TO WRITE
I MISS YOU
AND THERE'S SOMETHING
ON MY MIND TONIGHT
AT MAIL CALL
I RECEIVED YOUR LETTER
HERE TODAY
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE THINGS YOU SAY
YOU TELL ME
THERE ARE PEOPLE
MARCHING
IN OUR STREETS
THE SIGNS THEY CARRY
SAY THAT WE DON'T
FIGHT FOR PEACE
THERE'S NOT A
SOLDIER IN THIS
FOREIGN LAND
WHO LIKES THIS WAR
OH MAMA
TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR
TELL THEM
THAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
THE OLD RED
WHITE AND BLUE
DID THEY FORGET
PEARL HARBOR
AND KOREA TOO
ANOTHER FLAG
MUST NEVER FLY
ABOVE OUR
NATION'S DOOR
OH MAMA
TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR
FROM MAINE
TO CALIFORNIA
THERE ARE MANY
NOBLE MEN
WHO KNOW THE PRICE
OF WAR
AND PRAYED
WE'D NEVER FIGHT AGAIN
BUT THE WORLD
MUST LEARN
THAT WE WILL FIGHT
WE WILL
PROTECT OUR SHORE
OH MAMA
TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR
OH MAMA
TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR
OH OH MAMA
TELL THEM WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR
