Lyrics
The night was icy cold I was alone I was waiting for an army foot patrol And when at last they came into my sight Oh I squeezed the trigger of my Armalite Well a shot rang out I heard a soldier cry Oh please don't leave me here alone to die And I realized his patrol had gone away And had left their wounded comrade for me to slay Oh mama, oh mama comfort me For I know these awful things have got to be Oh but when the war for freedom has been won Oh I promise you I'll put away my gun There's nothing in this world I would not give If there's mеrcy in your heart you let me livе And in his eyes I saw a look of pain As the muzzle of my gun moved towards his brain Oh mama, oh mama comfort me For I know these awful things have got to be Oh but when the war for freedom has been won Oh I promise you I'll put away my gun The dawn was breaking as I reached my base I will not forget the look on that boys face Fear, Agony and torment were all there Oh but to your memory mother his life I spared Oh mama, oh mama comfort me For I know these awful things have got to be Oh but when the war for freedom has been won Oh I promise you I'll put away my gun Oh but when the war for freedom has been won Oh I promise you I'll put away my gun
