>The warship had landed and I came ashore,
>the fighting was over for me evermore.
>For I had been wounded, they left me for dead,
>a stone for my pillow and snow for my bed.
>
>The enemy found me and took me away,
>and made me a prisoner of war so they say.
>but God in his mercy was with me one day,
>the gate was left open and I ran away.
>
>I returned to the old home, my sweet wife to see,
>the home I had built for my darling and me.
>The door was left open and there on a stand,
>I waw a picture of her and a man.
>
>The clothes she was wearing told me a sad tale,
>my darling was wearing a new bridal veil.
>Then I found a letter and these words I read,
>"Missing in Action", She thought I was dead.
>
>So I kissed her picture and whispered good-bye,
>my poor heart was breading but my eyes were dry.
>I know she'd be happy if she never learned,
>I know she must never know I had returned.
>
>A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam,
>because there was no one to welcome me home,
>The face of my darling, no more will I see,
>for Missing in Action for ever I'll be.
