(Harlan Howard)
Didn't want to be no soldier
Didn't want to leave your side
Didn't want to cross that ocean
It's so deep and wide.
I guess that I'm just bluest
In all Germany
But so I'm blue I'm gonna be true
If you'll just write to me.
Gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey
Say you love me time and time again honey
It's many a miles from Nashville to Berlin honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in.
--- Instrumental ---
You tell me that my letters killed you
Keep my lovin' on your mind
Keep your heart from everything
And out of sweet frauleins.
But every letter that you write
Honey, I'll write free
Let me know you miss me so
Till you come home to me.
Gotta keep those cards and letters coming in honey
Say you love me time and time again honey
It's many a miles from Nashville to Berlin honey
So keep those cards and letters coming in.
So keep those cards and letters coming in...
