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
(Vocal)I hope and pray someday the world will learn
(Vocal)That fires we don't put out will bigger burn
(Vocal)We must save freedom now at any cost
(Vocal)Or someday our own freedom will be lost
Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone.
Goodbye my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.
