Oh Why, Oh Why Me
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Momma told Johnny not to go downtown
The Army recruiters were hangin’ around
But Johny didn’t listen and he went any way
Shipped to Benning the very next day
Sayin’ Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Johnny said goodbye to his Dad and Mom
Left the next day for Vietnam
Johnny said goodbye to his girlfriend Carrie
Said when he got back they would get married
Singin’ Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Johnny jumped on a hand-grenade
To save the lives of the friends he made
Now Carrie goes to D.C. every fall
To see the names etched upon that wall
Cryin’ Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
Oh Why, Oh Why Me…
