UNCLE JOE - Gregory Isaacs

I'm a lonely soldier many miles from home

With a heart that's heavy and with a will that's

Strong

Behind I left a woman so so dear to me

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 soldier yes I am

So won't somebody have mercy on me

Nice little son call junior smiling but with sympathy

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

But it seems that all I 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

Tired of seeing people dying
