could this be it?





A purple heart








Another heart is broken, another home so sad


Another message has been sent to his Mom and Dad


Your son was killed in action was the way the message read


Your son will not be coming home, they told me he was dead











They sent him to Viet Nam, his heart was young and gay


It's hard for me to realize they'll bring him home this way


His troubles are all over, his work on earth is done


A mother has a purple heart in memory of her son











Just a few short months ago he was here with me


And then they called his number to go across the sea


I still can hear his smiling voice and see his curly head


Oh somehow I can't believe out body boy is dead











* Refrain


It is an old Bluegrass song, but , unfortunatly, I could not find any more info than i have given you. Good Luck
