I know that when you think of Vietnam veterans you don't usually think of the women, but let me tell ya, there were a lot of women in Vietnam.
I wrote this one just for them.

SISTER SOLDIER
© Sarge Lintecum 1969, 1990

Sister soldier, sister soldier,
She went to Vietnam.
Sister soldier, sister soldier,
An angel among the bombs

Sometimes just to see her there
Would really mean a lot.
She was the last look at an American girl
That some boys ever got.

Sister soldier, sister soldier,
She served our nation well.
Sister soldier made you wonder,
What's an angel doin' here in Hell.

Sometimes just to see her there
Would really mean a lot,
She was the last look at an American girl
That some boys ever got.

(Lead Break)

Sister soldier, sister soldier,
She served our nation well.
Sister soldier made you wonder,
What's an angel doin' here in Hell.

Sometimes just to see her there
Would really mean a lot.
We remember she was there with us
Though folks at home forgot.

In the Air Force, Red Cross, and Army,
In the Navy and the Marine Corps,
Sister soldier was a bright light
In the darkness of the Vietnam war.

Sometimes just to see her there
Would really mean a lot.
She was the last look at an American girl
That some boys ever got.

Talk:
Play it for the Sisters, Bob.

(Lead Break Out)

Talk:
Bless your heart, Sister Soldier.
