Paroles
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" (comin', comin', comin')
My time will be up some time in June
"Don't forget", he said
"To tell my sweet Mary (Mary, 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 (hey, hey, hey)
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 (yeah, yeah)
And this is what she wrote and said
"Don't be alarmed"
She told me the telegram said (said, is dead)
Ah "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)
Ah-ah (Vietnam)
I wanna say now somebody stop that war (Vietnam)
(Vietnam) oh yeah, ah-ah
