Vietnam Love Song - Judy Collins

My lover is dead

He died in the battle of Plei Me

My lover is dead

He died in the battle of Tong Sa

My lover is dead

He died in the battle of Dong Ha

My lover is dead

He died in the battle of A Shau

My lover is dead

He died in the battle of Ba Gia

Died in the jungle undergrowth

Died in the rushing river

Died at the entrance to the pass

Died underneath the railroad bridge

Died so suddenly, died so gradually

Died long ago, died last winter

Died this morning, in his new uniform

Died stark naked, denouncing Americans

Died in silence, died hating, died loving

My lover is dead

My lover is alive

My lover, Vietnam
