[Jimmy Cliff - Vietnam - single version lyrics]
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 are sweet as cherry"
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 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"
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, hey Vietnam
Somebody please stop that war now
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, oh
Vietnam, Vietnam, oh vietnam, oh oh, oh oh
Somebody please stop it vietnam, Vietnam, oh
Vietnam, Vietnam, oh oh, oh oh
Vietnam, hey Vietnam, aha
Vietnam, oh oh, yeah
I wanna say now somebody stop that war
Vietnam, oh yeah, aha
