Vietnam Blues Lyrics

Cassandra Wilson Vietnam Blues

Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam
Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam
The law all the days (?) killing me down in Mississippi,
nobody seems to give a damn

Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my
brothers over in Vietnam
Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my
brothers over in Vietnam
The poor boys fightin', killin' and hidin' all in holes,
Maybe killin' their own brother, they do not know

Mister President you always cry about peace, but you must
clean up your house before you leave
Oh how you cry about peace, but you must clean up your
house before you leave
How can you tell the world how we need peace, and you
still mistreat and killin' poor me.
