GOODBYE MY DARLIN’ HELLO VIETNAM
written by: Tom T. Hall – ca 1964
Kiss me goodbye and write me when you can.
Goodbye my darlin’, hello Vietnam.
America has heard the bugle call,
And you know it involves us one and all.
A ship is waitin’ at the dock,
America has trouble to be stopped.
We must stop Communism in that land,
or freedom will start slippin’ through our hand.
I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don’t put out will bigger burn.
We must save freedom now at any cost,
or someday our freedom will be lost.
Kiss me goodbye and write me when you can.
Goodbye my darlin’ hello Vietnam.
