Rotation Blues
(Lt. Stewart Powell)
A E A
I got the ro-oh-oh-ta-a-tion blu-ues.
A A7
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea...
D A
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Ko-rea
E A
But rotation's comin' so I shouldn't have no fear.
Just a few more weeks and rotation's gonna set me free
Just a few more weeks and rotation's gonna set me free
'Cause the F.E.C. is too far east fur me.
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
'Cause the A-frames in Korea just don't look good on me.
Repeat yodel.
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free
'Cause the honey pots in Korea done started smellin' good to me.
Now that rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
Now that rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
And the rotation papers sure are hard to get.
Repeat yodel.
