Vietnam Lyrics

Hey Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam

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 will be up some time in June, Don't forget", He said
"To tell my sweet Mary, her golden lips are sweet as cherry"

And it came from Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam

It was just the next day his mother got the telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now Mistress Brown, she lives in the USA
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 from Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, hey, Vietnam
Somebody please stop that war now

It was just the next day his mother got the telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now Mistress Brown, she lives in the USA
And this is what she wrote and said, "Don't be alarmed"
She told me the telegram said, "Oh, but Mistress Brown your son is dead"

And it came from Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Hey, Vietnam, Vietnam, oh, Vietnam
Somebody please now

Vietnam, Vietnam
Oh, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, hey, Vietnam, aha, Vietnam
Wanna say now somebody stop that war
