I Can't Write Left-Handed |
I can’t write left-handed. |
Would you please write a letter-write a letter to my mother? |
Tell her to tell-tell her to tell the family lawyer. |
Trying to get a deferment for my younger brother. |
Tell the Rev. Harris to pray for me. |
Lord, lord, lord. |
I aint gonna live-I don’t believe I’m going to live to get much older. |
Strange little man over here in Vietnam I aint never seen, bless |
His heart, aint never done nothing to, he done shot me in my shoulder. |
Boot camp we had classes. |
You know we talked about fighting-fighting everyday. |
And looking through rosy colored glasses, I must admit it seemed exciting |
anyway. |
Oh, but someone that day overlooked to tell me bullets look better, |
I must say — brother — when they’re coming at you than going out the other way |
And please call up the Rev. Harris. |
Tell him to ask the Lord to do some good |
things for me. |
Tell him I aint gonna live-I aint gonna live to get much older. |
Whoa, Lord. |
Strange little man over here in Vietnam I aint never seen — bless |
his heart- |
I aint never done nothing to, he done shot me in my shoulder. |
