Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam
|
Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam
|
|
The law all the days killing me down in Mississippi, nobody seems to give a damn
|
|
Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my brothers over in Vietnam
|
|
Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my brothers over in Vietnam
|
|
The poor boys fightin', killin' and hidin' all in holes,
|
|
Maybe killin' their own brother, they do not know
|
|
Mr. President you always cry about peace, but you must clean up your house before you leave
|
|
Oh how you cry about peace, but you must clean up your house before you leave
|
|
How can you tell the world how we need peace, and you still mistreat and killin' poor me.

(* Another blues about Vietnam, from 1966. This time J B Lenoir links it to the racial murders in the Southern States at the time.*)
