《Singin’ In Viet Nam Talkin’ Blues》歌词

[00:00:02] Singin's In Viet Nam Talkin' Blues - Jphnny Cash

[00:00:08] One mornin' at breakfast I said to my wife

[00:00:11] We been everywhere once and some places twice

[00:00:14] As I had another helping of country ham

[00:00:16] She said "We ain't never been to Vietnam

[00:00:19] "And there's a bunch of our boys over there "

[00:00:22] So we went to the Orient: Saigon

[00:00:27] Well we got a big welcome when we drove in

[00:00:29] Through the gates of a place that they call Long Vinh

[00:00:32] We checked in and everything got kinda quiet

[00:00:34] But a soldier boy said: "Just wait 'til tonight

[00:00:37] "Things get noisy Things start happenin'

[00:00:42] "Big bad firecrackers "

[00:00:45] Well that night we did about four shows for the boys

[00:00:48] And they were livin' it up with a whole lot of noise

[00:00:51] We did our last song for the night

[00:00:53] And we crawled into bed for some peace and quiet

[00:00:56] But things weren't peaceful And things weren't quiet

[00:01:00] Things were scary

[00:01:03] Well for a few minutes June never said one word

[00:01:07] And I thought at first that she hadn't heard

[00:01:09] Then a shell exploded not two miles away

[00:01:11] She sat up in bed and I heard her say: "What was that "

[00:01:15] I said: "That was a shell or a bomb "

[00:01:18] She said: "I'm scared " I said "Me too "

[00:01:21] Well all night long that noise kept on

[00:01:24] And the sound would chill you right to the bone

[00:01:27] The bullets and the bombs and the mortar shells

[00:01:30] Shook our bed every time one fell

[00:01:32] And it never let up; it was gonna get worse

[00:01:36] Before it got any better

[00:01:39] Well when the sun came up the noise died down

[00:01:43] We got a few minutes sleep an' we were sleepin' sound

[00:01:45] When a soldier knocked on our door and said:

[00:01:48] "Last night they brought in seven dead and 14 wounded "

[00:01:52] And would we come down to the base hospital and see the boys

[00:01:56] "Yes "

[00:01:58] So we went to the hospital ward by day

[00:02:01] And every night we were singin' away

[00:02:03] Then the shells and the bombs was goin' again

[00:02:06] And the helicopters brought in the wounded men

[00:02:09] Night after night; day after day

[00:02:13] Comin' and a goin'

[00:02:16] So we sadly sang for them our last song

[00:02:19] And reluctantly we said: "So long "

[00:02:20] We did our best to let 'em know that we care

[00:02:24] For every last one of 'em that's over there

[00:02:27] Whether we belong over there or not

[00:02:29] Somebody over here love's 'em and needs 'em

[00:02:34] Well now that's about all that there is to tell

[00:02:37] About that little trip into livin' hell

[00:02:39] And if I ever go back over there any more

[00:02:42] I hope there's none of our boys there for me to sing for;

[00:02:45] I hope that war is over with

[00:02:47] And they all come back home

[00:02:49] To stay

[00:02:50] In peace
