From email:

Respectable Mudcat Cafe',
I'm wondering if you can possibly help me finding the very lyrics to " Vietnam Blues " as sung by Skip James, just for a personal interest in this kind of music.
Lookin' forward to hear from you at your convenience I remain
Yours Sincerely.

Luigi


The Soul of a Man is a 2003 documentary film, directed by Wim Wenders, as the second instalment of the documentary film series The Blues, produced by Martin Scorsese. The film explores the musical careers of blues musicians Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J. B. Lenoir.
Apparently, this is the song. I'm not very good at transcribing blues, so I could use some help.
