《Vietnam Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Vietnam Blues - Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:05] I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a

[00:00:09] Hungry dog

[00:00:09] In that crazy place called Washington DC

[00:00:15] I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about

[00:00:19] VietNam

[00:00:21] So I went over to see what was goin' on

[00:00:24] It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people

[00:00:36] Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to

[00:00:40] Send

[00:00:41] The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen

[00:00:47] I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives

[00:00:49] My friends over there who're givin' their lives

[00:00:52] He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min

[00:00:57] I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam

[00:01:07] Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right

[00:01:10] I though I'd better move before I got in a fight

[00:01:13] Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick

[00:01:18] Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read

[00:01:20] Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead

[00:01:24] It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick

[00:01:29] Another held the sign that said we won't fight

[00:01:31] I thought to myself boy ain't that right

[00:01:35] To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead

[00:01:39] I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land

[00:01:44] Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead

[00:01:48] Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger

[00:02:00] Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found

[00:02:06] To cool myself off and pacify my brain

[00:02:10] You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon

[00:02:17] Had about an hour to catch myself a plane

[00:02:22] So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna crawl
