Sam ("Lightning") Hopkins - Viet Nam War lyrics

Mama said Son, how can you be happy when your brother way over in Vietnam? How can you be happy when your brother way over in Vietnam? I told her - I said Mama he may got lucky and win some money Oh he got to may bring some money back home Mama looked at me She said that ain't no way to talk about your brother But he's my child too She said Mister Johnson is tellin' everybody Exactly what he want them to do All right my child What if Uncle Sam was to call you boy? (I would be so lonesome) Oh I would miss you so much I may die Yes if Uncle Sam should call you, Oh Lord I miss you so much I may die Yeah you know when you get over yon' and get to fightin' them soldiers Yeah you know you're gonna be fightin' way upon my heart
