lirik lagu viet nam blues – dave dudley
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
