Hey Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in Vietnam
And this is what he had to say
'Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
My time'll be up some time in June
Don't forget, he said, to tell my sweet Mary
Her golden lips as sweet as cherries
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now mistress Brown she lives in the U.S.A
And this is what she wrote and said
Don't be alarmed, she told me the telegram said
But mistress Brown, your son is dead
And it came Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Somebody please stop that war now
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
