(Harlan Howard)

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 just bluest in all Germany

But so I'm blue I'm gonna be true if you'll just write 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

[ guitar ]

You tell me that my letters killed you keep my lovin' on your mind

Keep your heart from everything and out of sweet frauleins

But every letter that you write honey I'll write free

Keep let me know you miss me so till you come home to me

Gotta keep those cards and letters...

So keep those cards and letters coming in
