Na Dang Blues in E Major


01/18/1968
OPERATION "YELLOWSTONE" VIETNAM:
Following a hard day, a few members of Company "A,"
3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry (Mechanized), 25th Infantry Division,
gather around a guitar player and sing a few songs.

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you,

Lord,It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, why don't they help themselves?
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,ooh,
they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, son son son
