Lightnin' Hopkins - Viet Nam War Lyrics
Mama said Son, how can you be happy when your brother way over in Vietnam?How can you be happy when your brother way over in Vietnam?I told her -I said Mama he may got lucky and win some moneyOh he got to may bring some money back homeMama looked at meShe said that ain't no way to talk about your brotherBut he's my child tooShe said Mister Johnson is tellin' everybodyExactly what he want them to doAll right my childWhat if Uncle Sam was to call you boy? (I would be so lonesome)Oh I would miss you so much I may dieYes if Uncle Sam should call you, Oh Lord I miss you so much I may dieYeah you know when you get over yon' and get to fightin' them soldiers,Yeah you know you're gonna be fightin' way upon my heart.
