The Ballad of Ho Chi Minh - Ewan MacColl with the London Critics Group
The Ballad Of Ho Chi Minh
(Ewan MacColl 1954)
(again the music counts - there are lots of videos on youtube with fantastic pictures of uncle ho so watch those --- although there are four gdr specific pictures)
Far away across the ocean,
Far beyond the sea’s eastern rim,
Lives a man who is father of the Indo-Chinese people,
And his name it is Ho Chi Minh.
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
From VietBac to the SaiGon Delta
From the mountains and plains below
Young and old workers, peasants and the toiling tenant farmers
Fight for freedom with Uncle Ho.
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, etc.
Now 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.
Now Ho Chi Minh came back from sailing
And he looked on on his native land
Saw the want and the hunger of the Indo-Chinese people
Foreign soldiers on every hand.
Now Ho Chi Minh went to the mountains
And he trained a determined band
Heroes all, who had sworn to free the Indo-Chinese people
Drive invaders from the land.
Fourteen men became a hundred
A hundred thousand and Ho Chi Minh
Forged and tempered the army of the Indo-Chinese people
Freedom’s Army of Viet Minh.
Every soldier is a farmer
Comes the evening and he grabs his hoe
Comes the morning he swings his rifle on his shoulder
T’is the army of Uncle Ho.
From the mountains and the jungles
From the ricelands and the Plain of Reeds
March the men and the women of the Indo-Chinese Army
Planting freedom with vict’ry seeds.
From VietBac to the SaiGon Delta
Marched the armies of Viet Minh
And the wind stirs the banners of the Indo-Chinese people
Peace and freedom and Ho Chi Minh.
