Hey vietnam, vietnam, vietnam, vietnam

Yesterday i got a letter from my friend fighting in vietnam
and this is what he had to say:
'tell all my friends that i'll be coming home soon
my time'll be up some time in june

her golden lips are sweet as cherry'
And it came from vietnam, vietnam, vietnam, vietnam
