Didn't want to be no soldier
Didn't want to leave your side
Didn't want to cross that ocean
It's so deep and wide
I guess that I'm the bluest soldier
In old Germany
But though I'm blue
I'm gonna be true
If 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 miles from Nashville
To Berlin, honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in
You tell me that my letters cheer you
Keep my loving on your mind
Keeps your heart from ever thinking
About those sweet frauleins
Well, for every letter that you write me
Honey, I'll write free
Keep a letting me know
You miss me so
Till you come home to me
Gotta keep those cards and letters
Coming in, honey
Say you love me
Time and time again, honey
It's many a miles from Nashville
To Berlin, honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in
So keep those cards and letters coming in
