Gregory Isaacs -UNCLE JOE
I'm a lonely soldier many miles from home
With a heart that's heavy and with a will that's wrong
Behind I left a woman so so dear to me yeah
Now I'm off to fight a war that
They say would make me free
I'm a lonely soldier I'm a lonely soldier
I'm a lonely lonely lonely lonely soldier （yes I am）
So won't somebody have mercy on me
Nice little son call junior smiling
But with sympathy yeah
All confused he asked a question
He said daddy why must this war be
I tried so very hard yes I did so very hard
I tried to explain yeah
But it seems that all I ever been trying
Lord it all seems to be in vain
You know lord I'm tired of hearing people crying
Lord I'm tired of seeing people dying
But I promise I wait very patiently
For that sweet voice of liberty
And no yeah
