Osborne Brothers - Brothers in Korea lyrics

rate me

(Lou Osborne) (1950's)

It was on the 27th of November

Uncle Sam sent for him to go,

Said, "Bring your clothes for three days

Until you are signed up for more."

CHORUS:

It's sad, it's sad but it's true;

He had to report over there

The people aren't happy unless

They're fighting in a battle somewhere.

He's in Korea today.

He's fighting for the loved one back home.

He's far across the sea

He may never come home.

You can wander around in the bar room

And find drunkards loafing around

But never do they have to answer

A call to serve Uncle Sam...
