When I got your letter baby
I was in a foxhole on my knees
(Oh yes, I was)
And your letter brought me so much strength

Tell you what I did, baby
(Oh, you won't believe it)
I raised up and got me
Two mo' enemies
(Oh yes, I did)

Listen, that's why
I believe that I'm gonna make it
(Tell everybody back home)
I believe that I'm gonna make it
And baby, I'll be home before you can say
Jackie Robinson
(Oh yes, I will, yes, I will)

Sometimes I wonder
Do you really love me
Then I'll think of something sweet
You once said to me

And the thought makes me feel
So good inside
I raise up and get me
Two mo' enemies
