Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
[Verse 2]
Yesterday, I got a letter from my friend
Fighting in Vietnam
And this is what he had to say
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Hey, Vietnam
Somebody, please stop that war now
[Verse 7]
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
Oh, but Mistress Brown, your son is dead
[Verse 8]
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Hey, Vietnam, Vietnam
Oh, Vietnam
Somebody please now
Vietnam, Vietnam
Oh, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, (Hey) Vietnam
(Uh-huh) Vietnam (What I say now)
Somebody, stop that war
