<pre><font size='+2'>LETTER FROM LBJ lyrics TOM PAXTON</font><br>LETTER FROM LBJ<br />
 LYNDON JOHNSON TOLD THE NATION<br />
(Tom Paxton)<br />
<br />
I got a letter from LBJ<br />
It said this is your lucky day<br />
It`s time to put your khaki trousers on<br />
Though it may seem very queer<br />
We`ve got no jobs to give you here<br />
So we are sending you to Viet Nam<br />
<br />
  Lyndon Johnson told the nation<br />
  Have no fear of escalation<br />
  I am trying everyone to please<br />
  Though it isn`t really war<br />
  We`re sending fifty thousand more<br />
  To help save Viet nam from the Viet Namese<br />
<br />
I jumped off the old troop ship<br />
And sank in mud up to my hips<br />
I cussed until the captain called me down<br />
Never mind how hard it`s raining<br />
Think of all the ground we`re gaining<br />
Just don`t take one step outside of town<br />
<br />
Every night the local gentry<br />
Step out past the sleeping sentry<br />
They go to join the old VC<br />
In their nightly little dramas<br />
They put on their black pajamas<br />
And come lobbing mortar shells at me<br />
<br />
We go round in helicopters<br />
Like a bunch of big grasshoppers<br />
Searching for the Viet Cong in vain<br />
They left a note that they had gone<br />
They had to get down to Saigon<br />
Their government positions to maintain<br />
<br />
Well here I sit in this rice paddy<br />
Wondering about Big Daddy<br />
And I know that Lyndon loves me so<br />
Yet how sadly I remember<br />
Way back yonder in November<br />
When he said I`d never have to go<br />

LETTER FROM LBJ
LYNDON JOHNSON TOLD THE NATION
(Tom Paxton)

I got a letter from LBJ
It said this is your lucky day
It`s time to put your khaki trousers on
Though it may seem very queer
We`ve got no jobs to give you here
So we are sending you to Viet Nam

Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn`t really war
We`re sending fifty thousand more
To help save Viet nam from the Viet Namese

I jumped off the old troop ship
And sank in mud up to my hips
I cussed until the captain called me down
Never mind how hard it`s raining
Think of all the ground we`re gaining
Just don`t take one step outside of town

Every night the local gentry
Step out past the sleeping sentry
They go to join the old VC
In their nightly little dramas
They put on their black pajamas
And come lobbing mortar shells at me

We go round in helicopters
Like a bunch of big grasshoppers
Searching for the Viet Cong in vain
They left a note that they had gone
They had to get down to Saigon
Their government positions to maintain

Well here I sit in this rice paddy
Wondering about Big Daddy
And I know that Lyndon loves me so
Yet how sadly I remember
Way back yonder in November
When he said I`d never have to go
