Searching for a Soldier's Grave

(Roy Acuff)



Somewhere here among these many thousands

Of Americans who all died true and brave

That's where I know I'll find him resting

So I'm here I'm searching for his grave.



You ask me stranger why I made this journey

Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves

Like many others my darling's killed in action

That's why I'm here I'm searching for his grave.



Somewhere here among these many thousands

Of Americans who all died true and brave

That's where I know I'll find him resting

So I'm here I'm searching for his grave.

When I come to the spot where he's sleeping

I know it will cause more heartaches inside

But I long to be by his side once more and tell him

Tell him that I love him and will until I die.



Somewhere here among these many thousands

Of Americans who all died true and brave

That's where I know I'll find him resting

So I'm here I'm searching for his grave...
