Letter To My Girlfriend (AKA Prison Blues)

[Intro]
I was a prisoner of war, and this is one of the letters
That I wrote home to my girlfriend
Just a little seranade from the boys, and I'm gonna
Read it to you

[Verse 1]
I wants to know what you're doin' tonight
Wish I could see if everything is alright
And hold you long in my arms until bright
Your smiling face would make a wonderful sight
I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you
Sleep with you, stay with you all of my life

[Verse 2]
I loved you darlin' when you's only sixteen
You was the sweetest thing to enter my dream
When we're together then my life is fulfilled
To love you darling I know I always will
I wants to be with you, love with you, eat with you
Sleep with you all of my life

[Verse 3]
I close my letter but never my love
Please send a prayer to the heaven above
To see me home to you safe and sound
The day that I leave the prisoner ground
I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you
Sleep with you all of my life
