I found a soldier in a box a souvenir that someone lost at such a cost
(oh no, oh no)
The cemetery gates were closed only the humming birds would smell the flowers brought for ghost
( oh no, oh no)
There's not much fame or fortune for the fortunetekker selling fortune to the broke
(oh no)
Soldier in a box....he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box....he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself
(oh no, oh no)
"no need to say this letter better get to where he lays his head" she said
(oh no, oh no)
Seventeen months of wondering why she forget to send her thoughts was all he got instead
(oh no, oh no, oh no)
Her soldier in a box....he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box........he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
