Lyric 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
