Lyrics
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 are sweet as cherry"
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 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 a 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, hey
Vietnam
Vietnam, oh
Vietnam
Somebody please stop it!
Vietnam
Vietnam, oh
Vietnam
Vietnam, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Vietnam, hey
Vietnam, aha
Vietnam, oh, oh, yeah
I wanna say now, somebody stop that war
Vietnam, oh yeah, aha ...
