At Mail Call Today (78rpm Version)

At mail call today, dear, your last letter came

I just stood there smiling till they called my name

As I read it over, the sky turned to grey

And tears dimmed my eyes love, at mail call today

I can't understand love, what's happened to you

The day that I sailed love, you said you'd be true

But now it's all over, what more can I say?

My poor heart was broken at mail call today

I've slept in the foxholes amid shot and shells

I'm telling you now, love, it's worse than all hell

I thought you would wait love, while I was away

But my castle tumbled at mail call today

I hope you'll be happy with somebody new

But always remember, my heart beats for you

Good luck and God bless you wherever you stray

The world for me ended at mail call today
