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
