Capitn Walker didn't come home
His unborn child will never know him.
Believe him missing with a number of men
Don't expect to see him again.
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy.
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy.
A son,
A son.
His unborn child will never know him.
Believe him missing with a number of men
Don't expect to see him again.
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy.
It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy.
A son,
A son.
