I Was Only 19 (A Walk In The Light Green) (我只有19岁(绿光下漫步)) - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew
Written by:John Schumann
Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal
It was long march from cadets
The Sixth Battalion was the next to tour and it was me
Who drew the card
We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left
And Townsville lined the footpath as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
God help me I was only nineteen
From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
But we made our tents a home VB and pin-ups on the lockers
And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub
And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep
And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16
And what's this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me I was only nineteen
A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself
But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else
Then someone yelled out Contact' and the bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours then a God almighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
God help me he was going home in June
I can still see Frankie drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie lying screaming in the jungle
'Till the M******e came and killed the bloody row
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me I was only nineteen
And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep
And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet
And what's this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me
I was only nineteen
