Annotation
Daddy's in Vietnam (Jerry Hopkins). Country. Narrated from perspective of soldier who has never met his daughter. Patriotic reference - fighting to keep people free. "Your daddy's in Vietnam tonight Thinking of sweet little you Mama write me every day all about you And she sent me a big picture of you Although I've never seen you, I love you so I want you in my arms, your daddy's bundle of joy Your daddy's in Vietnam tonight Thinking of sweet little you It's all I can give so that people can live And can keep raising little children like you Some day when you are older and have children of your own Then you'll understand why you and mummy are alone
