A Lonely Soldier

I'm in my fox hole cold and damp, I'm using my matches for a lamp, I'd give anything to be at home, instead of this ditch here all alone, oh the thoughts of mama going thru my mind, with her loving arms around me, she's so kind, I can almost smell the cooking that mama did, with her shiny pots and fancy lids, I hate to wake up, cause then I'll see, I'm still in this hole for eternity.
