From my 'Salute to Loretta Lynn' tribute album. A song about a military wife whose husband had to leave and go off to war. Very fitting again for this time we're living in.

Story behind the song
Never a stranger to controversy, Loretta wrote this at the suggestion of Mooney.
Lyrics
Dear Uncle Sam I know you're a busy man And tonight I write to you Through tears with a tremblin' hand My darlin' 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 & blue While I wear a heartache Since he left me for you (recitation) Dear Uncle I just got your telegram And I can't believe this is me Shaking like I am For it said "I'm sorry to inform you........"
