Korean Mud

Performed by Elton Britt
Recorded c. 1951
Written by Velma T. Jenkins & Marie Thomas

An American soldier lay dying
Out in the Korean mud
And all that was needed to save him
Was a pint of someone's blood
And now as I think about it a
A tear comes to my eye
'Cause there was no blood to save him
And this poor boy had to die

So give, give, give,
Give more and more of your blood
To protect the dyin' soldier boys
Lying in the Korean mud

Now it could have been your loved one
Dying in the Korean mud
S o please go to your blood bank
And give some of your blood
Now it's not much of a sacrifice
Just to give a pint or two
When many a brave young soldier
H as given his life for you

So give, give, give,
Give more and more of your blood
To protect the dyin' soldier boys
Lying in the Korean mud
