Dear Uncle Sam lyrics

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..."
