Forgive me |
|
John but I don't love your brother |
|
I realize now that you're the only one |
|
Write and tell me dear that you'll still have me if |
|
I undo the awful wrong |
|
I've done |
|
I've tried to answer your letter the best that |
|
I know how |
|
The way I feel about you honey really doesn't matter now |
|
As you know the boys will be coming home soon |
|
To be with their wives and their mas and pas |
|
I'd like to come home |
|
I'd like to see you as a wife but not as a sister in law |
|
Forgive me |
|
John... You're asking me to do somethin' |
|
I can't do |
|
It's hard to explain but can't you see my brother loves you |
|
I reckon as much as |
|
I do and he married you |
|
And I could never do him what he done me |
|
But I wish you happiness forever may you make him a true and lovin' wife |
|
There's nothing for me to come home for now |
|
So I'll re-enlist and live my lonely soldier's life |
