No Longer A Prisoner

No Longer a Prisoner - Hank Snow

Written by：Ralph Yaw

While a prisoner of war in Korea

Surrounded by guards and barred wire

I dreamed of returnin' to you dear

Oh that was my heart's one desire

Now at last I am free and returnin'

And I'm thankful to god up above

I'm no longer a prisoner of war dear

But I'm still a prisoner of love

These past years my darlin' were

Like a nightmare to me

But through all the hardships

And the suffering it seemed

Like your face I could always see

Seems like you gave me

The courage and the will to live

When I was so heartsick and blue

And my lonely hours seemed

To fly quickly by dear

When I was thinking of you

You know honey

I didn't receive all of your letters

Till way after the truce was signed

But now that I've read them all over

I hope dear

That you haven't changed your mind

Gee soon now

This plane is gonna be landin' and

I hope you'll be waitin' there for me

The minutes are draggin' by like hours now

What's my fate to be

In the crowd dear I see you there wavin'

And I'm thankful to god up above

For this ole' plane has just hit the runway

And I'm safe in the arms of my love
