Battle of Tuy Hoa

327 Infantry Veterans - Vietnam War

Vietnam 2nd Battalion

Battle of Tuy Hoa

Saturday night about 8 o’clock
I know just where I’ll be
Down in the valley of Tuy Hoa
Laying in a rice paddy

Here comes Charlie over the dike
Running through the field
V.C. Charlies moving in
Thinks he gonna make a kill

But we ain’t gonna run
We’re gonna stand and fight
The Lord will help us
He knows were right
We’re fighting men of the 101
Fighting men and we’re
Second to None

Fighting grew heavy
V.C. were all around
One brave squad
Tried to make a charge,
But Charlie cut em down

Angry and determination
Paratroopers made a stand
The Screaming Eagles hit with such force
That Charlie turned and ran
Cause we ain’t gonna run
We’ll stand and fight
The lord will help us
He knows we’re right
We’re fighting men of the 101
Fighting men and we’re
Second to None
