Lyrics
English: Tomorrow I'm going to Viet Nam For a long war And when I leave Chicago There will be a lot of tears for me And the ones who cry the hardest will be those With whom I talked And the ones who will cry the hardest will be the ones whose faces he kissed One says a happy journey ahead The second one says, eat with God And the third one, don't go away
