Lyrics
English: I just came back from Vietnam where I spend 7 years / In a dirty rotten prison camp, a cried a lot of tears / Through dreary days and lonely night I sat there in / That cell, while you were there in heaven I spent my / Time in hell, my days were filled with loneliness, my / Nights with thoughts of you, it never once ran through / My mind that you would not be true, now I've come / Back home to find that you have left me now, and I / Wish I'd died in the prison camp in Northern Vietnam / My heart feels so empty now, once held my love of you / This should be a happy time but now I feel so blue / The thoughts of coming home to you is what helped / Me survive, although I find I've lost your love, it / Once kept me alive...I wish I'd died in a prison camp...
