Joan Baez sings 'Saigon Bride' from her 1967 Vanguard album 'Joan'. The songwriters are Nina Dusheck and Baez. Everyone, whether they were there or are old enough to have lived through the time or young so they only read about it in history books, has their own opinion of the Vietnam War. This song reflects the view of the songwriters at the time it was written. The video shows only scenes of Saigon during the 1960s and up to the fall of Saigon in 1975, not the wider war. The order is not strictly chronological though scenes of the fall of Saigon are at the end. The song's lyrics follow below. [Vinyl/33 Images]
Saigon Bride
Singer - Joan Baez
Farewell, my wistful Saigon bride
I'm going out to stem the tide
A tide which never saw the seas
It flows through jungles, 'round the trees
Some say it's yellow, some say red
It will not matter when we're dead
How many dead men will it take
To build a dike that will not break?
How many children must we kill
Before we make the waves stand still?
Though miracles come high today
We have the wherewithal to pay
It takes them off the streets, you know
To places they would never go alone
It gives them useful trade
The lucky boys are even paid
Men die to build their Pharaoh's tombs
And still, and still the teeming wombs
How many men to conquer Mars?
How many dead to reach the stars?
Farewell, my wistful Saigon bride
I'm going out to stem the tide
Some say it's yellow, some say red
It will not matter when we're dead
Songwriters: Joan Baez, Nina Dusheck
