| Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I’d never been |
| As I held the rope on through the scope I wish I’d never seen |
| Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy’s dream |
| But who were there could only stare into this wondrous scene |
| Yankee, to war |
| Yankee, head high |
| Yankee, in call |
| Yankee, we cry |
| In Germany in the forty five, my mind was on the altar |
| Thought of god, the iron rod and thought that needed shelter |
| From 'Tragen' pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder |
| Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older |
| Yankee, to war |
| Yankee, head high |
| Yankee, in call |
| Yankee, we cry |
| Working for the Yankee dollar |
| Working for the Yankee dollar |
| Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero’s welcome |
| For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion |
| And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning |
| In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation |
| Yankee, to war |
| Yankee, head high |
| Yankee, in call |
| Yankee, we cry |
| Working for the Yankee dollar |
| Working for the Yankee dollar |
