  26. This is an anti-war song written in the days of nuclear oppression. I don^╥t think Donovan wrote it and at some stage I came across the last verse.This verse is not on the record ( Donovan Universal Soldier 1966)

  29. Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan

  31. Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam

  40. And the war drags on
  41.  
  42.  
  43. Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones
  44. millions without faces--without hope and without homes--
  45. and the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones
  46. --that the flesh had long since left just as the people--left their homes--
  47.  
  48. and the war  drags  on
  49.  
  50. They^╥re just there to make the people free
  51. but the way that they^╥re doing it--it don^╥t seem like that to me
  52. just more blood letting and misery and tears
  53. --that this poor country^╥s known--for the last twenty years--
  54.  
  55. and the war drags on
  56.  
  57. Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems
  58. one that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams
  59. millions of people running  --screaming and shouting loud
  60. and right overhead was a big--mushroom cloud
  61.  
  62. and there^╥s no more war
  63. cause there^╥s no more world
  64. and my tears keep fallin down
  65. like the rain --on to the blackened ground
