Tell Mama

Lyrics

Tell Mama (That I Won't Be Coming Home) © 2019 Hank Thomas Music/ all rights reserved V1 I'm lying here on this field hospital bed Got a hole in my chest lotta pain in my head Corpsman tells me that it's getting pretty near the end Is there a message to somebody that I want him to send CH Tell Mama, that I won't be coming home Tell Daddy, carve my name on the family's tombstone Tell my wife and little baby, That I'm sorry for leaving them alone Tell Mama, That I won't be coming home Break V2 Every breath I take could be my last Guess I ought to be grateful that I had the chance To kiss a pretty girl at a High School dance To fall in love and have a real romance CH Tell Mama, that I won't be coming home Tell Daddy, to carve my name on the family tombstone Tell my wife and little baby, I'm so sorry for leaving them alone Tell Mama, I won't be coming home Tell my wife and little baby, I'm so sorry for leaving them alone Tell Mama, I won't be coming home
