The day I left
The day I left
My momma cried
My momma cried
She thought that I
She thought that I
Would surely die
Would surely die
I left my wife
I left my wife
Cryin' at the door
Cryin' at the door
She knew that I
She knew that I
Would die at war
Would die at war
I left my son
I left my son
Playin' in the yard
Playyelled at me
Laying cross the floor
Layin' cin' in the yard
She yelled at me
She ross the floor
