Jimmy Cliff - Viet Nam 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 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 from:

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam!

Somebody please stop that war now!

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam!
