Stories & Poems About War


 

 

Sheba-Sheba Hava No

 

We were sailing along

On Pusan Bay

 

On Pusan Bay

We could see the Rice Paddies

a gleaming in the sun

 

Sheba sole my heart

Now don’t go away

As we sang loves old sweet song

On Pusan Bay

 

Some day I’ll return, to my little

Rice Paddy

And I will be her, sweet honey

Bucket Daddy

 

We’ll build a new home, in Old

Yong-Dong-Po

And will hang a sign saying

Sheba – Sheba Hava No
