At Mail Call Today

Performed by Gene Autry
Recorded December 6, 1944
Written by Gene Autry, Fred Rose

At mail call today dear, your last letter came
I just stood,ere smiling till they called my name
As I read it over the sky turned to gray
And tears dimmed my eyes love, at mail call today

I can't understand, love, what's happened to you
The day that I sailed, love, you said you'd be true
But now it's all over, what more can I say?
My poor heart was broken at mail call today

I've slept in the foxhole 'mid shot and shell,
I'm telling you now, love, it's worse than all hell
I thought you would wait, love, while I was away
But my castle tumbled at mail call today

I hope you'll be happy with somebody new
But always remember my heart beats for you
Good luck and God bless you wherever you stray
The world for me ended at mail call today
