A HEARTSICK SOLDIER ON HEARTBREAK RIDGE
(Ernest Tubb / Max Fidler / Nelie Kane)

Ernest Tubb - 1951


I知 tired and weary, forgotten and blue 
With only one question in mind
How long, 前 how long, till I知 back home again 
With the Sweetheart I left behind

I知 A Heartsick Soldier On Heartbreak Ridge
Across from the River of Si
Where the shells burst around me
And cover the sound of a poor lonely heart when it cries

Does the girl I love know I miss her tonight
And how often I mention her name
Does she know how I long for the sound of her voice
And the love letters that never came

I知 A Heartsick Soldier On Heartbreak Ridge
Across from the River of Si
Where the shells burst around me
And cover the sound of a poor lonely heart when it cries

Will my prayers be answered on Heartbreak Ridge
Will the one that I love still be true
Does she count the hours until I return
My poor heart could rest if I knew

I知 A Heartsick Soldier On Heartbreak Ridge
Across from the River of Si
Where the shells burst around me
And cover the sound of a poor lonely heart when it cries
