Lyrics:PENNY EVANS
(Steve Goodman)
tune of Flying Cloud

Oh my name is Penny Evans
and my age is 21
A young widow in the war that's being fought in Viet Nam
And I have two
infant daughters and I do the best I can
Now they say the war is over, but I think it's just
begun

I remember I was seventeen on the day I met young Bill
At his father's grand
piano, we'd play old Heart and Soul
Well, I only knew the left hand part and he the right so
well
He's the only boy I ever slept with and the only one I will

It's first we had a
baby girl and we had two good years
It was next the A1 notice came and we parted without
tears
So it's nine months from our last good night our second babe
appears
So it's
ten months and a telegram confirming all our fears
And now every month I get a check from an
Army bureaucrat
And it's every month I tear it up and mail the damn thing back
Do you
think that makes it all right, do you think I'd fall for that
And you can keep your bloody
money, it won't bring my Billy back

I never cared for politics and speeches I don't
understand
And likewise never took no charity from any living man
But tonight there's
fifty thousand gone in that unhappy land
and fifty thousand "Heart and Soul's" being played
with just one
hand

Oh my name is Penny Evans and my age is 21
A young widow
in the war that's being fought in Viet Nam
And I have two infant daughters and I do the best I
can
Now they say the war is over, but I think it's just begun
