Lyrics
English: I received a letter from a soldier / He was only a lonely soldier / Far away from home, no place to roam / A lonely soldier / This lonely soldier that I see somehow, somewhere belongs to me / This soldier is a man among men / If he came to my door I'd let him / I received a letter from a soldier / He was only a lonely soldier / Far away from home, no place to roam / A lonely soldier / The last time that I heard from him / He said that he was in Vietnam / So lord won't you take care of him
