From mother's arms to Korea
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
Then the next line was wrote by his buddy
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
They sent her an unfinished diary
That she once gave her darling son
It starts the day when he left her
And ends 'neath the enemy's gun
From mother's arms to Korea
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
Then the next line was wrote by his buddy
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
Last night I saw mother kneeling
By the old hearthstone to pray
In my dream I thought I was with her
And that's all my darling could say
From mother's arms to Korea
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
Then the next line was wrote by his buddy
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
Please tell his sweetheart who's waiting
For his ship to anchor at shore
To change her plans and forget him
Her lips he'll kiss no more
From mother's arms to Korea
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
Then the next line was wrote by his buddy
From a foxhole to a mansion on high.
