  • 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
