Kiss me goodbye and
write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart
Hello Vietnam
America has heard the bugle call
And you know it
involves us one and all
I don't suppose that war
will ever end
There's fighting that will
break us up again
Goodbye my darling
Hello Vietnam
A hill to take a battle to be won
Kiss me goodbye and
write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart
Hello Vietnam
A ship is waiting for us at the dock
America has trouble to be stopped
We must stop communism in that land
Or freedom will start slipping
through our hands
Goodbye my darling
I hope and pray someday
the world will learn
That fires we don't put out
will bigger burn
We must save freedom
now at any cost
Or someday our
own freedom will be lost
Kiss me goodbye and
write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart
Hello Vietnam
