Lyrics
English: 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
