Hanoi Hannah
(McGuinn/Levy)
Hanoi Hannah averaged bout a man a
day
and when she wasn't working
she kept the coffee perking
for the guy who didn't have to pay
On Hanoi Hanna workin' all my blues
away
My home is in Kentucky but lovin'
makes me want to stay
The captain says I'm lucky
but the chaplan says I ought to pray
And Hanoi Hanna workin' all my blues
away
Well I never would have thought
I'd get so lost out here
Smokin' marijuana and drinkin' beer
and trying not to think about the time
next year
when me and all my buddies gonna
disappear
Hanoi Hanna workin' all my blues away
Hanoi Hannah took her shoes and ran
away
When I hold her I was headin'
to have myself a weddin'
to my baby in the U.S.A
Good-bye Hannah I really don't know
what to say
Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah
