Vietnamese Blues Lyrics

Well I just got back from Vietnam
Where I saw a baby in a pram
The next minute it wasn't there
I was getting paid too much to care

Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnamese blues

Well I just got back from Vietnam
I got addicted to napalm
My teeth have rotted, they're just not there
I was getting paid too much to care

Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnamese blues

Well I just got back from Vietnam
I got blown to bits by a bomb
My minds gone, it's just not there
I was getting paid too much to care

Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnamese blues

Well I just got back from Vietnam
Although I'm really only half a man
My wife's left, divorce coming through
I got no money what can I do?

Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnamese blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
