See What You Done, Done (Hymn No. 9)
(Delia Gartrell)

"See what you done done to my only son
Why he was fighting in your war

America, I gave you my only son
Right away you sent him off
To fight in Vietnam...
He was a good soldier and he really did his part
I was so proud when he won that medal
The one they call the Purple Heart
I didn't know that when he went off to serve his country
I didn't know you'd send him back to me a stoned junkie...

I watched him one day take some money from my purse
That's when I knew his habit had gotten worse...
My son died from an overdose"
