Jimmy Cliff - Vietnam download song

It is almost impossible to listen to this song and not think of the many friends I lost in Vietnam. They died fighting for something many didn't have at home

Hey, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Yesterday I got a letter from my friend Fighting in Vietnam And this is what he had to say 'Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon My time it'll be up some time in June Don't forget, he said to tell my sweet Mary Her golden lips as sweet as cherries And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam It was just the next day his mother got a telegram It was addressed from Vietnam Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA And this is what she wrote and said Don't be alarmed, she told me the telegram said But mistress Brown your son is dead And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Somebody please stop that war now It was just the next day his mother got a telegram It was addressed from Vietnam Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA And this is what she wrote and said Don't be alarmed, she told me the telegram said Oh, but mistress Brown your son is dead And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Somebody please stop it Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam What I'm saying now somebody stop that war

This song brings back a lot of sad memories. Yes and many tears in my eyes. Best regards at all in the world HaJo

good song from a great singer Jimmy cliff .....Rasta forever..wish I had a chance to witness him and Bob together live in concert....

"THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE HIT SONGS ......THANK YOU JIMMY......!

That scene in DC Cab when Adam Baldwin and the company owner are dancing in old soldier gear...

A sad, cautionary tale detailing the folly of war. And all to a driving reggae beat! This is is as good as any protest song coming out of the U.S. at the time.

One of the favorite songs of F1-Legend Niki Lauda (1949-2019)! ;-)

Very emotive song,highlights the unpredictability of those in the Vietnam conflict and for their friends and families. Deepest respect and love to the brave who fell and their brothers that survived .

Jimmy Cliff one of the artists I respect the more

When I hear it now somehow it always reminds me to Robin Williams. R.I.P.

This song moves the soul, respect from Scotland UK

bob Dylan calls this the greatest protest song ever written.

Kids in London's East End were grooving to Jimmy Cliff, black and white during the 60's and early 70's. I was little but I remember this being played at parties. I was too young to understand but I loved singing the chorus.

The song that introduced me to Jimmy Cliff back in early 70s as a grade schooler in Kenya

I was living in the USA during Vietnam war - the weekly newspaper of the small town I was regularly brought information about local soldiers in war - missing, wounded or dead. Terrible years those ones. Jimmy Cliff had a perfect glimpse of the time.

I am so proud be born to Jamaican parents. I love listening to music from my mother and father generation. Feel lucky

the memories of that bloody awful war should be enough to make people stop and think. BUT SADLY NOT
