Letter To My Girlfriend - Guitar Slim

I was a prisoner of war, and this is one of the letters

That I wrote home to my girlfriend

Just a little seranade from the boys, and I’m gonna

Read it to you

I wants to know what you’re doin' tonight

Wish I could see if everything is alright

And hold you long in my arms until bright

Your smiling face would make a wonderful sight

I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you

Sleep with you, stay with you all of my life

I loved you darlin' when you’s only sixteen

You was the sweetest thing to enter my dream

When we’re together then my life is fulfilled

To love you darling I know I always will

I wants to be with you, love with you, eat with you

Sleep with you all of my life

I close my letter but never my love

Please send a prayer to the heaven above

To see me home to you safe and sound

The day that I leave the prisoner ground

I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you

Sleep with you all of my life
