Cette chanson aborde le tragique destin d'un soldat envoyé au Vietnam, qui écrit à sa mère et à ses amis pour leur annoncer qu'il rentrera bientôt chez lui. Il évoque des souvenirs tendres, comme ceux de sa douce Mary, illustrant le contraste entre l'espoir et l'horreur qui l'entoure. Malheureusement, peu après, sa mère reçoit un télégramme annonçant sa mort, révélant ainsi la cruauté et l'incertitude de la guerre. Cette œuvre dénonce ainsi la violence du conflit au Vietnam et appelle à mettre un terme à la guerre.
