[00:01.59][Verse]
[00:07.95]One morning at breakfast, I said to my wife
[00:10.71]We been everywhere once and some places twice
[00:13.50]As I had another helping of country ham
[00:15.78]She said "We ain't never been to Vietnam
[00:18.51]And there's a bunch of our boys over there
[00:21.21]So we went to the Orient: Saigon
[00:26.28]Well we got a big welcome when we drove in
[00:29.10]Through the gates of a place that they call Long Vinh
[00:31.68]We checked in and everything got kinda quiet
[00:34.23]But a soldier boy said: "Just wait until tonight
[00:36.75]Things get noisy. Things start happening
[00:41.52]Big bad firecrackers
[00:44.61]Well that night we did about four shows for the boys
[00:47.37]And they were living it up with a whole lot of noise
[00:50.04]We did our last song for the night
[00:52.59]And we crawled into bed for some peace and quiet
[00:55.02]But things weren't peaceful. And things weren't quiet
[00:59.91]Things were scary
[01:02.73]Well for a few minutes June never said one word
[01:05.55]And I thought at first that she hadn't heard
[01:08.22]Then a shell exploded not two miles away
[01:10.98]She sat up in bed and I heard her say: "What was that?
[01:14.88]I said: That was a shell, or a bomb
[01:17.70]She said: I'm scared.I said "Me too
[01:20.97]Well all night long that noise kept on
[01:24.00]And the sound would chill you right to the bone
[01:26.46]The bullets and the bombs, and the mortar shells
[01:29.34]Shook our bed every time one fell
[01:31.47]And it never let up; it was gonna get worse
[01:35.55]Before it got any better
[01:39.15]Well when the sun came up, the noise died down
[01:42.00]We got a few minutes sleep, an' we were sleeping sound
[01:44.55]When a soldier knocked on our door and said
[01:47.25]Last night they brought in seven dead, and 14 wounded
[01:51.87]And would we come down to the base hospital, and see the boys
[01:55.77]Yes
[01:57.39]So we went to the hospital ward by day
[02:00.69]And every night we were singing away
[02:02.58]Then the shells and the bombs was going again
[02:05.55]And the helicopters brought in the wounded men
[02:08.10]Night after night; day after day
[02:12.63]Coming and a going
[02:15.60]So we sadly sang for them our last song
[02:18.63]And reluctantly we said: So long
[02:21.00]We did our best to let them know that we care
[02:23.61]For every last one of them that's over there
[02:26.01]Whether we belong over there or not
[02:28.23]Somebody over here love's them, and needs them
[02:33.57]Well now that's about all that there is to tell
[02:36.24]About that little trip into living hell
[02:38.73]And if I ever go back over there any more
[02:41.37]I hope there's none of our boys there for me to sing for
[02:43.83]I hope that war is over with
[02:46.17]And they all come back home
[02:48.66]To stay
[02:49.32][Outro]
[02:49.50]In peace
