[b] Ruby Jean

In a beat up, cardboard frame upon her dresser.
A picture of a soldier , young and strong.
And a tattered envelope that holds a letter,
From a boy turned man too soon in Viet nam.

Dear Ruby jean, I miss you, please be strong,
The war will soon be over, I’ll be home before too long.

It tells of how his unit met the hostiles,
On a routine night patrol in old Saigon.
And how a sniper , in a window, opened fire.
And when he fell, it seemed to take so long.
Cho
He goes on to tell of all the hell he’s been through.
And the pain he feels will surely drive him mad.
But the nurses seem to care and try to cheer him.
And all in all, the food is not too bad.
Cho
Break
Now the last few lines were writen by his chaplin
About the bravest lad that he had ever seen.
And it’s a sad,sad world when things like this can happen.
And the last words on his breath were Ruby Jean[/b]
