Old Crow Medicine Show - Big time in the jungle

Down in ^DEutaw, Alabama in ^CNineteen Sixty-^GFive A ^Dyoung man ‘bout 21, no ^Cdifferent than you or ^GI He’s catc^Amhin’ catfish, and gettinâ^D€™ drunk But Uncle ^AmSam called, he called him ^Dup, Sent him out to Viet^Gnam, That young ^Amman, Got his ^Dlife turned upside down, Turned his ^Dmsmile into a frown, Robbed that ^Dking of his crown, For an ideal he didn’t even k^Gnow about,

He was ^Dgamblin’ at the wagon,^Cwhen that army man sh^Gowed up, And he ^Dflashed that pen and paper, And ^Cole Fukie he signed ^Gup, There’s gonna ^Ambe a big time, In the jun^Dgle, Gonna be a ^Amfirefight, Gonna be a rum^Dble, Send me out to Viet^Gnam, I’ll fight^Am ten men, I got nothinâ^D€™ left in the States for me, I wanna ^Dmsee the world you see, I know that ^DUncle Sam needs me, To fight for an ideal I know nothing a^Gbout.

Oh the ^Ddrop point was dusty and the ^Cdrill sergeant was ^Gloud, And he ^Dcould not see the corpses, for ^Cthe ragin’ ^Gdust cloud Grab your ^Amduffle bags, head to the check^Dpoint Welcome to Viet^Amnam boys, you’re in for a hell ^Dof a fight, Take it from the ones who ^Gknow. The army moves ^Amslow, Hurry up and ^Dwait, don’t s^Dmleep late, And learn to ^Dhate your brother, Before you hate your ^Gfoe,

On ^Dpatrol out in the ^Crice fields,^G Them ^Dchoppers flew low, Glancing ^Cfor the hand sig^Gnal, To tell you where ^Amto go, Then the bombs started ^Dfallin’ And they pounded ^Amhis brain, And he thought about Eu^Dtaw , And who was to ^Gblame, For sendin’ him to^Am Vietnam,
