[Intro]
Is your daddy, home, from across the sea?

[Verse 1]
If you see someone hangin’
Around your backdoor.
And that someone,
Looks a little bit like me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children,
It’s your daddy,
And he’s home from across the sea.
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children.

[Chorus]
If you have,
A young boy up in Vietnam,
And he’s lying,
In a field up on his back,
And he’s dreamin’,
Of his family and his loved ones,
And he’s waiting,
Just to hear shot riffles crack.

[Post-Chorus]
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
If you see someone hangin’
Around your backdoor.
And that someone,
Looks a little bit like me, yeah.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children,
It’s your daddy,
And he’s home from across the sea.
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children.

[Chorus]
If you have,
A young boy up in Vietnam,
And he’s lying,
In a field up on his back,
And he’s dreamin’,
Of his family and his loved ones,
And he’s waiting,
Just to hear shot riffles crack.

[Post-Chorus]
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children.

[Verse 1]
If you see someone hangin’
Around your backdoor.
And that someone,
Looks a little bit like me, yeah.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children,
It’s your daddy,
And he’s home from across the sea.
Oh momma, 
Gonna tell your darling children.

[Outro]
 Oh momma, 
Gonna tell them that I’m home.
