Mini-Your-Dress Is Too Short / Viet Nam

In the blues / gospel track "Viet Nam" (Gospel Corner Records # GC-127) Madame Nellie Robinson pleaded for the conclusion of the Vietnam War - "settle this war in Vietnam" - in order to stop people from dying: "lord have mercy, a child is dying". It considered the pain felt by those fighting: "soldiers laying in mud". It also looked at the family and friends of soldiers in the US: "mothers and fathers at home crying". Robinson signed to the label Gospel Corner, based in Los Angeles, California, by Brother Hudson in 1968, a subsidiary of Proverb Records.

Composed by Madame Nellie Robinson. Produced by Bro. Henderson.

Soldiers laying in mud holes moaning,
mothers and fathers at home crying,
Lord have mercy
A child is dying

I got a letter yesterday
saying 'mother I'll be home soon'
The next day I received a telegram
Your son is dead and gone

and told the lord stop the sun
Sun stood still
and a silver sign (?)
and tell the victory for one (?)
