It was during the Vietnam conflict
A bunch of soldiers had been on a long hike
They arrived in a town called Saigon
And the next day being Sunday, several of the boys went to church
After the chaplain read the prayer the text was taken out, those of the boys who had prayer books took them out, but one boy had only a deck of cards so he spread them out
The sergeant in charge of the boys saw the cards and said soldier put away those cards
And after the service was over the soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the propos marshal
The marshal said sergeant why have you bought this man here, for playing cards in church sir,
And what have you to say for yourself son, much sir the soldier replied
the marshal said i hope so, for if not I shall punish you severely
You see sir I
