Dear Uncle Sam I know you're a busy man And tonight I write to you through tears with a trembling 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 [ trumpet ] Dear Uncle Sam I just got your telegram And I can't believe that this is me shaking like I am For it said I'm sorry to inform you
