Hey. Vietnam. Vietnam. Vietnam. Vietnam. Vietnam. Vietnam. Vietnam. . Yesterday I got a letter. From my friend. Fighting in Vietnam. And this is what he had to say.
God put a song in the heart of an angel. And softly she sang it to me. . I get to thinkin' lotta times. About back when I was a lad. The old homeplace where I grew up.
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder. Say the things you used to say and make the world go away. . Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray.
Many rivers to cross. But I can't seem to find my way over. Wandering I am lost. As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover. . Many rivers to cross. And it's only my will that keeps me alive.
Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll. Bossman bossman my hands're cold (shut up boy and make the waterwheel roll). Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll.
It's good to see you you're looking fine love sure looks good on you. That smile you're wearing makes it so plain to see. Love looks good on you but how this blue look on me.
I played the losing game when I fell in love with you. Held a losing hand when you told me we were through. Played the losing game when I gave my heart to you.
You've heard me sigh you've seen me cry you've helped to brush my tears away. When things go wrong you're my comfort cause every night you make my day.
I hope I won't disturb you with this call but I'm just in town for such a little while. And I thought perhaps you'd like to hear the news. Jeannie's grades were the highest in the school.
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky. Waiting for me when I die. But between the day you're born and when you die. They never seem to hear even your cry.
Well, my pretty baby just left me this mornin'. Said she didn't wanna see me no more. Told me not to call her on the telephone. And never come a-knockin' on her door.
Well they tell me of a pie in the sky. Waiting for me when I die. But between the day you're born and when you die. They never seem to hear even your cry.
Life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer that's brave. We must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave. . Watch the curves the fields the tunnels do your duty never fail.
Etty in the room a cry. Mama say she must wipe her eye. Papa say she no fi foolish. Like she never been to school at all. It is no wonder. It's a perfect pander.
Let's talk about love all day long let's talk about happiness sing happy song. You'll put away the sadness and let sunshine in. Yeah let's talk about love love love that will never end.
Da-da-dai-dai, da-da-dai, da-da-dai. Da-da-dai-dai, da-da-dai, da-da-dai. Da-da-da-dai-dai, sufferin' in the land. . It is plain to see we're in a terrible situation, sufferin' in the land.
With someone like you a pal so good and true. I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find. Some place that's known to God alone just a spot we could call our own.
Everyman has a right to live. Love is all that we have to give. Together we struggle by your will to survive. Then together we fight just to stay alive.
I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you and so I beg you let it be me. Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone. Now and forever let it be me.
Every man has a right to live. Love is all that we have to give. Together we struggle by our will to survive. And together we fight just to stay alive.
