A young man �bout 21,
C G
no different than you or I
Am
He�s catchin� catfish,
D
and gettin� drunk
Am
But Uncle Sam called,
D
he called him up,
G
Sent him out to Vietnam,
Am
That young man,
D
Got his life turned upside down,
Turned his smile into a frown,
Robbed that king of his crown,
G
For an ideal he didn�t even know about,
Verse 2-
He was gamblin� at the wagon,when that army man showed up,
And he flashed that pen and paper,
And ole Fukie he signed up,
There�s gonna be a big time,
In the jungle,
Gonna be a firefight,
Gonna be a rumble,
Send me out to Vietnam,
I�ll fight ten men,
I got nothin� left in the States for me,
I wanna see the world you see,
I know that Uncle Sam needs me,
To fight for an ideal I know nothing about.
Verse 3-
Oh the drop point was dusty and the drill sergeant was loud,
And he could not see the corpses,
for the ragin� dust cloud
Grab your duffle bags,
head to the checkpoint
Welcome to Vietnam boys,
you�re in for a hell of a fight,
Take it from the ones who know.
The army moves slow,
Hurry up and wait,
don�t sleep late,
And learn to hate your brother,
Before you hate your foe,
Verse 4*-
On patrol out in the rice fields,
Them choppers flew low,
Glancing for the hand signal,
To tell you where to go,
Then the bombs started fallin�
And they pounded his brain,
And he thought about Eutaw ,
And who was to blame,
For sendin� him to Vietnam,
