HANOI HANNAH
Album : Roger McGuinn 1973
(McGuinn / Levy)
Roger McGuinn


Hanoi Hannah averaged bout a man a day
and when she wasnŽt working
she kept the coffee perking
for the guy who didnŽt have to pay
On Hanoi Hanna workinŽ all my blues away

My home is in Kentucky but lovinŽ makes me want to stay
The captain says IŽm lucky
but the chaplan says I ought to pray
And Hanoi Hanna workinŽ all my blues away

Well I never would have thought
IŽd get so lost out here
SmokinŽ marijuana and drinkinŽ beer
and trying not to think about the time next year
when me and all my buddies gonna disappear
Hanoi Hanna workinŽ all my blues away

Hanoi Hannah took her shoes and ran away
When I hold her I was headinŽ
to have myself a weddinŽ
to my baby in the U.S.A.
Good-bye Hannah I really donŽt know what to say

Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah
