Lyrics

My Soldier?s Coming Home
Words and Music by
Roy Anderson and Leon Cooley

Verse 1
When he marched off to war
We had a goodbye kiss
I held him tight
And said remember this

Say your prayers keep your gun loaded
And call me when you can
We?ll all be praying for you
Your life is in god?s hand?s

I guess he?s blessed to be a lucky joe
Many hard fought battles later
His fighting days are done
Chorus
My soldier?s coming home
His service to his country is all done
I won?t have to keep missing him
Soon I?ll be hugging and kissing him
I?m overjoyed
My soldier?s coming home
Verse 2
I guess a lot of folks
Are just like me
A combat tour
Felt like eternity

All those days he faced grave danger
But he did his job
And made it through that battle zone
I want to thank you god

I guess he?s blessed
To be a lucky joe
Let?s start a celebration
His fighting days are done
Chorus
My soldier?s coming home
His service to his country is all done
I won?t have to keep missing him
I?ll be a hugging and kissing him
I?m overjoyed
My soldier?s coming home
Bridge
When he gets home I?ll be meeting him
With flags waving I?ll be greeting him
I?ll tell him that I love him so
And let the tears of joy flow


Repeat Chorus and Fade
