Missing in Action Ernest Tubb

The warship had landed and I came ashore

The fighting was over for me ever more

For I had been wounded and left there for dead

A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed

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 gates were 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 let open and there on a stand I saw a picture of her and a man

The clothes she was wearing told me a sad tale

My darling was wearing a new bridal veil

There on the mantle a letter I read missing in action she thought I was dead

[ steel ]

So I kissed her picture and whispered 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

That's so sad and to say that his wife couldn't love him anymore when she thought he was dead I know god says when you die the marriage bonds are broken but he did'nt die there for technically still married there for the second marriage is null and void. He should have taken back what was his.
