C               A7       D7  
You left me and you went away 
 G7                                    C  
You said that you'd be back in just a day 
       A7                          D7  
You've broken your promise and you left me here alone 
  G7                                                    C  
I don't know why you did dear but I do know that you're gone 
  
Chorus: 
 C                          D7  
I'm walking the floor over you 
  G7                         C  
I can't sleep a wink that is true 
    A7                           D7  
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two 
 G7                     C  
Walking the floor over you 
  
            A7                 D7  
Now darling you know I love you well 
 G7                            C  
Love you more than I can ever tell 
  A7                            D7  
I thought that you loved me and always would be mine 
 G7                                               C  
But you went and left me here with troubles on my mind 
  
Chorus: 
 C                          D7  
I'm walking the floor over you 
  G7                         C  
I can't sleep a wink that is true 
    A7                           D7  
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two 
 G7                     C  
Walking the floor over you 

                A7              D7  
Now someday you may be lonesome too 
 G7                            C  
Walking the floor is good for you 
 A7                                D7  
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry 
 G7                                            C  
Remember that I love you and I will the day I die

I can't sleep a wink that is true 
    A7                           D7  
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two 
 G7                     C  
Walking the floor over you 
 
 C                          D7

G                            D7  
When the postman delivered a letter 
                                 G  
It filled her dear heart full of joy 
                             A7  
But she didn't know till she read the inside 
           D7                        G  
It was the last one from her darling boy 
  
                             D7  
Dear Mom was the way that it started 
                           G  
I miss you so much it went on 
                       A7  
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so  
         D7                        G  
But I'll prove it when this war is won 
  
                                  D7  
I'm writing this down in a trench Mom 
                           G  
Don't scold if it isn't so neat 
                    A7  
You know as you did when I was a kid 
        D7                       G  
And I'd come home with mud on my feet 
  
                             D7  
The captain just gave us our orders 
                           G  
And Mom we will carry them through 
                            A7  
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get 
          D7                 G  
But now I'll just say I love you 
  
                                     D7  
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble 
                                    G  
And she fought against tears in her eyes 
                            A7  
But they came unashamed for there was no name  
        D7                        G  
And she knew that her darling had died 
  
                               D7  
That night as she knelt by her bedside 
                              G  
She prayed Lord above hear my plea 
                         A7  
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
