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

my time ´ll be up some time in june.
Don´t forget´ he said
´to tell
my sweet Mary

her golden lips as sweet as cherries´.
And it came from:
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 U.S.A
and this is
what she wrote and said:
´Don´t be alarmed´
she told me the telegram said

´but mistress Brown
your son is dead!
and it came from:
Vietnam

Somebody please stop that war now!
