Generate meaning
1
The warship had landed and night come ashore
2
The fighting was over for me ever more
3
For I had been wounded they left me forget
4
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
5
The enemy found me and took me away and made me a prisoner of war so they say
6
But God in his mercy was with me one day the gate was left open and I ran away
7
I returned to the old home my sweet wife to see
8
The home I had built for my darling and me
9
The door I then opened and there on the stand I saw a picture of her and the man
10
The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale
11
My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
12
Then I found a letter and these words I read missing in action she thought I was dead
13
So I kissed her picture and whispered goodbye
14
My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
15
I knew it was too late for her now to learn
16
I knew she must never know I had returned
17
A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
18
Because there was no one to welcome me home
19
The face of my darling no more I shall see for missing in action forever I'll be
