Mobile Advisory Team
I tell you friends, it was no fun
On a Mobile Advisory Team, When I was in Vietnam
To train the people to defend
Their homes and be no friend
To the Viet Cong who would come
On the darkest night and wreck their homes
Then one night the alarm would sound
By the firing of beau coup rounds
All the people where on the scene
But, OLE Charlie was nowhere to be seen
The MAT Team leader would call higher, higher
To send to him beau coup fire
Black Ponies and Cobras would be the key
To help eliminate, the Enemy
Rockets, Bombs, and Miniguns
Puts Charlie on the run
Spooky would light up the night
But, OLE Charlie was gone clear out of site
In the morning you would see
Many blood trails, left by the Enemy
