ewan maccoll - the ballad of ho chi minh lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
far away across the ocean
far beyond the sea’s eastern rim
lives a man who is father of the indochinese people
and his name, it is ho chi minh

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 2]
from viet bac to the saigon delta
from the mountains and the plains below
young and old workers, peasants and the toiling tenant farmers
fight for freedom with uncle ho

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 3]
ho chi minh was a deep sea sailor
he served his time out on the seven seas
work and hardship were part of his early education
exploitation, his abc

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 4]
ho chi minh came back from sailing
and he looked on his native land
saw the want and the hunger of the indochinese people
foreign soldiers on every hand

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 5]
ho chi minh went to the mountains
and he formed a determined band
heroes all sworn to free the indochinese people
drive invaders from the land

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 6]
forty men became a hundred
a hundred thousand and ho chi minh
forged and tempered the army of the indochinese people
freedom’s army of viet minh

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 7]
every soldier is a farmer
comes the evening, he grabs his hoe
comes the morning, he swings his rifle on his shoulder
that’s the army of uncle ho

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 8]
from the mountains and the jungles
from the rice lands and the plain of reeds
march the men and the women of the indochinese army
planting freedom with victory seeds

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[verse 9]
from viet bac to the saigon delta
marched the armies of viet minh
and the wind stirs the banners of the indochinese people
peace and freedom and ho chi minh

[chorus]
ho, ho, ho chi minh
ho, ho, ho chi minh

[outro]
ho!
