Annotation
Pvt. Abair, USMC (Abair, Pvt.) - novelty piece about a private being ordered around in the army. "Listen to the sound of the men in the marching marines March a hundred thousand million miles each day it seems Go to bed and go to sleep and marching through my dreams Listen to the sound of the men in the marching marines Up at 5'oclock everyday before the rising sun... Slop the deck, scrub the head, and then my work has just begun... Here comes the man better known at the sergeant Can't seem to please him makes no difference how hard I try Yelling every breath in my ear now I don't know why There ain't a meaner man in the whole world than the sergeant One, two, three, left one, two, three four, I ain't gonna tell you" "A Voice in the Wind" - patriotic / pro-government, fighting to help the Vietnamese be free. "God please don't let them die in vain I hear in the voice in the wind and it's calling me home Far from the land across the sea But I can't return until the battle is one Until the people of this land is free Men fight and die for a better place to live... What more than their young lives to give Trembling and bleeding and crying in pain God please don't let them die in vain…
