Annotation
"Will the War in Vietnam Be Over Then" by Mel Grubbs "Just a few short years ago they sing about the ? across the sea About the lucky guy who found it all in the good old USA Now the baby is about so high no more, pretty soon he'll be a man Will the war in Vietnam be over then We love in him all so very much I've heard him say 'I love you daddy and I miss you every time you go away' He's not a baby about so high no more, pretty soon he'll be a man Will the war in Vietnam be over then I've seen the neighbours boys go off and leave... It takes a lot kids and lonely hearts to keep old glory waving high... There fighting for the flag we love in the great land of the free For the folks back home, for you and me"
