Lyrics

I'd like to introduce you to a personal hero of mine
 A man whose music I admire immensely
 The great Jimmy Cliff
 ♪
 This is something that we experienced some time ago
 Wanna tell you about a place and a time that we call
 Vietnam
 ♪
 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
 "Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon" (soon, soon)
 ♪
 "My time will be up some time in June"
 "Don't forget", he said, "To tell my sweet Mary" (Mary, Mary)
 
 "Her golden lips as sweet as cherries"
 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 the telegram said
 "Don't be alarmed"
 She told us the telegram said (said, said)
 "But, mistress Brown, your son is dead"
 And it came from
 Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
 Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
 All I'm saying now
 Somebody please stop that war now
