Hank Snow No Longer A Prisoner - 1953 Lyrics

While a prisoner of war in Korea

Surrounded by guards and barrbed 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

(spoken)

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

Ya know, honey, I didn't recieve 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, now soon 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
