The Vietnam Blues

 
 
I wanna tell you 'bout some blues I got one time
In a little place called Vietnam
Now I guess Vietnam's about as far away from here as you
can get
'Cause it didn't seem to matter which way the jet flew
Sometimes we'd go East sometimes West
But no matter twenty-two hours later
There you are in Vietnam

Now I did three tours over there
Twenty-six months
In which time I came down with malaria three times
Jungle rot, immersion foot, two kinds of parasites
Schrapnel wounds in my leg
And Agent Orange all over my body
I'm talkin' Blues now Jack

You run into two kinds of Vietnam combat veterans
Some can't talk about it some can't stop
But there's one thing we all have in common
Sometimes we get thinkin' 'bout the guys 'n gals
That didn't make it back
And we come down with a real bad case of the Vietnam blues
