I didn't wanna be no soldier didn't wanna leave your side   Didn't wanna cross that ocean it's so deep and wide   Now I guess that I'm a bluest soldier in all Germany   Though I'm blue I'm a gonna be true you'll just write to me   You gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey   Say you love me time and time again honey   It's many a mile from Memphis to Berlin honey   So keep those cards and letters coming in   [ guitar - steel ]   Well you don't know how your letters tear me keep your mem'ry on my mind   Keep my heart from ever thinking about those cute frauleins   For every letter that you write me honey I'll write two   Keep let me know that you miss me so till I get home to you   You gotta keep those cards and letters...   You gotta keep those cards and letters...
