歌曲 | Big Time In The Jungle |
歌手 | Old Crow Medicine Show |
作曲 : Fuqua | |
Down in Eutaw, | |
Alabama in 1965 | |
A young man 'bout 21, no different than you or | |
I He's catchin' catfish, and gettin' drunk | |
But Uncle | |
Sam called, he called him up | |
Sent him out to | |
Vietnam That young man | |
Got his life turned upside down | |
Turned his smile into a frown | |
Robbed that king of his crown | |
For an ideal he didn't even know about | |
He was gamblin' at the wagon when that army man showed up | |
And he flashed that pen and paper | |
And ol' Flukie he signed up | |
There's gonna be a big time in the jungle | |
Gonna be a firefight | |
Gonna be a rumble | |
Send me out to | |
Vietnam I'll fight ten men | |
I got nothin' left in the | |
States for me | |
I wanna see the world you see | |
I know that | |
Uncle Sam needs me | |
To fight for an ideal | |
I know nothing about | |
Oh the drop point was dusty and the drill sergeant was loud | |
And he could not see the corpses for the ragin' dust cloud | |
Grab your duffle bags, head to the checkpoint | |
Welcome to | |
Vietnam, boys, you're in for a hell of a fight | |
Take it from the ones who know | |
The army moves slow | |
Hurry up and wait, don't sleep late | |
And learn to hate your brother | |
Before you hate your foe | |
On patrol out in the rice fields, them choppers flew low | |
Glancing for the hand signal to tell you where to go | |
Then the bombs started fallin' | |
And they pounded his brain | |
And he thought about | |
Eutaw and who was to blame | |
For sendin' him to | |
Vietnam |
