Galveston Bay (Album Version) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)[00:00:00]

For 15 years Le Bin Son fought side by side with the Americans[00:00:02]

In the mountains and deltas of vietnamin[00:00:11]

'75 Saigon fell and he left his command[00:00:15]

And brought his family to the promised land[00:00:23]

Seabrook Texas and the small towns in the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:30]

It was delta country and reminded him of home[00:00:38]

He worked as a machinist put his money away[00:00:47]

And bought a shrimp boat with his cousin[00:00:51]

And together they harvested Galveston Bay[00:00:56]

In the morning 'fore the sun come up[00:01:01]

He'd kiss his sleeping daughter[00:01:04]

Steer out through the channel[00:01:09]

And cast his nets into the water[00:01:11]

Billy Sutter fought with Charlie Company[00:01:22]

In the highlands of Quang Tri[00:01:26]

He was wounded in the battle of Chu Lai[00:01:30]

Shipped home in '68[00:01:33]

There he married and worked the Gulf fishing grounds[00:01:39]

In a boat that'd been his father's[00:01:44]

In the morning he'd kiss his sleeping son[00:01:47]

And cast his nets into the water[00:01:52]

Billy sat in front of his TV as the south fell[00:02:03]

And the Communists rolled into Saigon[00:02:10]

He and his friends watched as the refugees came[00:02:14]

Settled on the same streets[00:02:19]

And worked the coast they'd grew up on[00:02:22]

Soon in the bars around the harbor was talk[00:02:27]

Of America for the Americans[00:02:30]

Someone said "You want 'em out you got to burn 'em out "[00:02:35]

And brought in the Texas Klan[00:02:39]

One humid Texas night there were 3 shadows on the harbor[00:02:47]

Come to burn the Vietnamese boats into the sea[00:02:53]

In the fire's light shots rang out[00:02:59]

2 Texans lay dead on the ground[00:03:02]

Le stood with a pistol in his hand[00:03:06]

A jury acquitted him in self-defense[00:03:11]

As before the judge he did stand[00:03:16]

But as Le walked down the courthouse steps[00:03:20]

Billy said "My friend you're a dead man "[00:03:24]

One late summer night Le stood watch along the waterside[00:03:50]

Billy stood in the shadows[00:03:57]

His k-bar knife in his hand[00:04:00]

And the moon slipped behind the clouds[00:04:05]

Le lit a cigarette the bay was still as glass[00:04:10]

As he walked by Billy stuck his knife into his pocket[00:04:17]

Took a breath and let him pass[00:04:23]

In the early darkness Billy rose up[00:04:30]

Went into the kitchen for a drink of water[00:04:34]

Kissed his sleeping wife[00:04:40]

Headed into the channel[00:04:43]

And cast his nets into the water[00:04:45]

Of Galveston Bay[00:04:49]
