[00:02:46] Talking Vietnam Potluck Blues (LP Version) - Tom Paxton

[00:02:46] When I landed in Vietnam

[00:02:46] I hardly got to see Saigon

[00:02:46] They shaped us up and called the roll

[00:02:46] And off we went on a long patrol

[00:02:46] Swattin' flies swappin' lies

[00:02:46] Firing the odd shot here and there

[00:02:46] The captain called a halt that night

[00:02:46] And we had chow by the pale moonlight

[00:02:46] A lovely dinner they planned for us

[00:02:46] With a taste like a seat on a crosstown bus

[00:02:46] Some of the veterans left theirs in the cans

[00:02:46] For the Viet Cong to find

[00:02:46] Deadlier than a land mine

[00:02:46] Well naturally somebody told a joke

[00:02:46] And a couple of fellas began to smoke

[00:02:46] I took a whiff as a cloud rolled by

[00:02:46] And my nose went up like an infield fly

[00:02:46] The captain this blonde fella from Yale said

[00:02:46] "What's the matter with you baby "

[00:02:46] Well I may be crazy but I think not

[00:02:46] I'd swear to God that I smell pot

[00:02:46] But who'd have pot in Vietnam

[00:02:46] He said "What do you think you're sittin' on "

[00:02:46] These funny little plants thousands of them

[00:02:46] Good God Almighty Pastures of Plenty

[00:02:46] We all lit up and by and by

[00:02:46] The whole platoon was flying high

[00:02:46] With a beautiful smile on the captain's face

[00:02:46] He smelled like midnight on St Mark's Place

[00:02:46] Cleaning his weapon chanting the Hare Krishna

[00:02:46] The moment came as it comes to all

[00:02:46] When I had to answer nature's call

[00:02:46] I was stumbling around in a beautiful haze

[00:02:46] When I met a little cat in black P J 's

[00:02:46] Rifle ammo-belt B F Goodrich sandals

[00:02:46] He looked up at me and said

[00:02:46] "Whatsa' matta wit-choo baby "

[00:02:46] He said "We're campin' down the pass

[00:02:46] And smelled you people blowin' grass

[00:02:46] And since by the smell you're smokin' trash

[00:02:46] I brought you a taste of a special stash

[00:02:46] Straight from Uncle Ho's victory garden

[00:02:46] We call it Hanoi gold "

[00:02:46] So his squad and my squad settled down

[00:02:46] And passed some lovely stuff around

[00:02:46] All too soon it was time to go

[00:02:46] The captain got on the radio

[00:02:46] "Hello headquarters

[00:02:46] Hello headquarters

[00:02:46] We have met the enemy

[00:02:46] And they have been smashed "
