G C G
There's not much a man can do inside a prison
 
D7 G
Just take his memory trips and fight the pain
 
C G
And a word from home can mean so much to a prisoner
 
A7 D7
It's been years now since that last letter came
 
G C G
Not a day goes by that I don't think of mama
 
D7 G
And my nights are filled with thoughts of sweet Marie
 
C G
And old friends I ran around with keep on running through my mind
 
D7 G
But I just wonder if they ever think of me
 
D7 G
I wonder if they know that I'm still living
 
C G D7
And still proud to be a part of Uncle Sam
 
C G
I wonder if they think I died of hunger
 
A7 D7
In this rotten prison camp in Viet Nam
 
G C G
Not a day goes by that I don't think of mama
 
D7 G
And my nights are filled with thoughts of sweet Marie
 
C G
And I remember daddy saying you'll come back a better man

And I just wonder if they ever think of me

Oh I just wonder if they ever think of me
