Annotation
My Shy Rose of Vietnam (Gene Marshall) (Preview Records # 1903) Song-poem. Traditional pop. Plight. Soldier who fell in love with a Vietnamese girl. "Do you adore the rose of the topics... My shy rose is the sweetest rose that anybody could ever know... My love is waiting in a land that is across the sea My poor heart is rejoicing as shy rose of Asia comes to me My shy rose of Vietnam, the sweetest I ever knew Someday I'll return and taste her sweetness anew When winds are blowing in the East And the fragrance blows in the breeze My thoughts wonder back to where We loved beneath the bamboo trees My shy rose of Vietnam, the sweetest I ever knew Someday I'll return and taste her sweetness anew"
