Jimmy Cliff Viet Nam lyrics

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
'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, 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 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 Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam

Somebody please stop that war now

Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
