Dave Dudley - Viet Nam Blues Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
  • In that crazy place called Washington DC
  • I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam
  • So I went over to see what was goin' on
  • It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people
  • Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send
  • The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen
  • I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives
  • My friends over there who're givin' their lives
  • He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min
  • I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam
  • Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right
  • I though I'd better move before I got in a fight
  • Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick
  • Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read
  • Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead
  • It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick
  • Another held the sign that said we won't fight
  • I thought to myself boy ain't that right
  • To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead
  • I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land
  • Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead
  • Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger
  • Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found
  • To cool myself off and pacify my brain
  • You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon
  • Had about an hour to catch myself a plane
  • So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna crawl
