traveling soldier歌词
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He‘s a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin‘ down for a while
And talking to me,
I‘m feeling a little low
She said I‘m off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don‘t care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Chorus: I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin‘ for the love of a travelin‘ soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin‘ for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier‘s coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of
