Dear mama, I'll never go to war
They always do
And if I do, I won't be far
They always are
So mama, please don't you worry
She always will
I'll be back in a real hurry
They never are
Things will be back to normal
He'll never be
I'll be in badges, dressed real formal
Oh! But mama, mama, please don't cry
mama, mama, I promise I won't die
I'll fight for freedom
I'll fight for rights
I'll even take pictures of the wild sights
Just for you, mama, mama
Just for you
Yeah, mama, mama
Dear mama, I've gone off to the war
They always do
And it's true, I'm kinda far
They always are
So mama, please don't worry
She always will
I'll be back in a real hurry
They never are
Things won't be back to normal
No, he'll never be
My arm is gone, but I'll still be dressed real formal
Oh! But mama, mama, please don't cry
mama, mama I promise I won't die
I'm fighting for freedom
I'm fighting for rights
I've not the time to take pictures of wild sights
None for you mama, mama
None for you
No, mama, mama
Dear mama, your son's died in war
They always do
His body so near, but his soul's so far
They always are
So, mama, I'm sorry about the news
They really are
This isn't the path we wished for God to choose
We never do
Maybe some day things will be normal
They'll never be
The funeral's Monday, the dress is formal
Oh! But mama, mama, please don't cry
mama, mama your son has died
He was fighting for freedom
He was fighting for rights
Didn't even have time to take pictures of sights
None for you mama, mama
None for you
No, mama, no mama
