Bob, I agree with what you said about that song, but you forgot to say that the song was sad. I should have expected that since you said that it was a Vietnam era song.

In addition to the lyrics, there's also a link to a sound clip of the song. Unfortunately, the sound clip ends before the verse that mentions the Canadian place name.

"By the time they sent my letter I was already gone
I was living like a hobo in south Saskatchewan
They called me a traitor to the land of my birth"
It don't matter where you lay your head
we're all brothers on this earth

Gordon Carter-"The Letter"
