Rotation Blues

Performed by Elton Britt
Recorded c. 1951
Written by Lt. Stuart Powell

I got the Rotation Blues
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
But rotation's comin', so I should have no fear

Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
'Cause the FEC's too Far East for 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
I got the Rotation Blues

Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (I'm buggin' out)
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (section eight's gonna get me)
The honey pots in Korea done started smellin' good to me

Now this rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
This rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
And them rotation papers sure is hard to get
I got the Rotation Blues
