Lyrics:

Hey Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam
Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam

Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in Viet Nam
And this is what he had to say
Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
My time'll be up sometime in June
Don't forget, he said, to tell my sweet Mary
Her golden lips are sweet as cherry

And it came from Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam
Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam

It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Viet Nam
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 Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam
Viet Nam, Viet Nam, hey, Viet Nam

Somebody please stop that war now!

It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Viet Nam
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 Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam, Viet Nam
Hey, Viet Nam, Viet Nam, oh, Viet Nam
Somebody please now
Viet Nam, Viet Nam, oh, Viet Nam, Viet Nam
Viet Nam, hey, Viet Nam, uh-huh, Viet Nam
Wanna say now somebody stop that war
Oh yeah, uh-huh
