- Missing In Action Lyrics / with translationsSongwriters: Kaye, Helen; Smith, Arthur Q;
The warship had landed and I came ashore
The fighting was over for me ever more
For I had been wounded they left me for dead
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
But the enemy found me and took me away
And made me a prisoner of war so they say
But God in his mercy was with me one day
The gate was left open and I ran away
I returned to my old home my sweet wife to see
The home I had built for my darling and me
The door I threw open and there on a stand
I saw a picture of her and a man
The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale
My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
And there on the mantle a letter I read
Missing in action she thought I was dead
So I picked up her picture and kissed it goodbye
My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
I knew it was too late for her now to learn
I knew she must never know I had returned
A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
Because there was no one to welcome me home
The face of my darling no more I shall see
For missing in action forever I'll be
The warship had landed and I came ashore
The fighting was over for me ever more
For I had been wounded they left me for dead
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
But the enemy found me and took me away
And made me a prisoner of war so they say
But God in his mercy was with me one day
The gate was left open and I ran away
I returned to my old home my sweet wife to see
The home I had built for my darling and me
The door I threw open and there on a stand
I saw a picture of her and a man
My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
And there on the mantle a letter I read
Missing in action she thought I was dead
So I picked up her picture and kissed it goodbye
My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
I knew it was too late for her now to learn
I knew she must never know I had returned
A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
Because there was no one to welcome me home
The face of my darling no more I shall see
For missing in action forever I'll be
