Dear Uncle Sam, I know you're a busy man,
And tonight I write to you through tears with a tremblin' hand.
My darling answered when he got that call from you.
You said you really need him, but you don't need him like I do.
Don't misunderstand, I know he's fighting for our land,
I really love my country, but I also love my man.
He proudly wears the colors of the old red, white and blue,
While I wear a heartache since he left me for you.
Dear Uncle Sam, I just got your telegram,
And I can't believe that it is me shakin' like I am,
For it said, "I'm sorry to inform you..."
