My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Plei Me
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Tong Sa
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Dong Ha
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of A Shau…
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Ba Gia
Died in the jungle undergrowth,
Died in the rushing river...
Died at the entrance to the pass
Died underneath the railroad bridge,
Died so suddenly,
Died so gradually...
Died long ago
Died last winter
Died this morning, in his new uniform...
Died stark naked, denouncing Americans
Died in silence…
Died hating
Died loving
My lover is dead…
My lover is alive
My lover, Vietnam
He died in the battle of Plei Me
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Tong Sa
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Dong Ha
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of A Shau…
My lover is dead,
He died in the battle of Ba Gia
Died in the jungle undergrowth,
Died in the rushing river...
Died at the entrance to the pass
Died underneath the railroad bridge,
Died so suddenly,
Died so gradually...
Died long ago
Died last winter
Died this morning, in his new uniform...
Died stark naked, denouncing Americans
Died in silence…
Died hating
Died loving
My lover is dead…
My lover is alive
My lover, Vietnam
