The Ballad Of Hanoi Jane (lyrics) Verse 1: In Hollywood she shone so bright, a star of silver screen, Jane Fonda’s name was known to all, a beauty, bold and keen. But in the heat of Vietnam, where soldiers fought and bled, She took a path that broke our hearts, with words that fueled the red. Chorus: Oh, Jane, oh, Jane, why’d you turn away? You stood with the Viet Cong, left your country in dismay. The boys in Hanoi’s shadow cried, their trust in you was torn, Jane Fonda, they called you traitor, in the land where you were born. Verse 2: She flew to Hanoi’s war-torn streets, in nineteen seventy-two, Posed with guns and shook the hands of those our soldiers slew. On radio, she spoke their cause, said we were in the wrong, While pale and in cages sat, and sang their lonesome song. (Chorus) Oh, Jane, oh, Jane, why’d you turn away? You stood with the Viet Cong, left your country in dismay. The boys in Hanoi’s shadow cried, their trust in you was torn, Jane Fonda, they called you traitor, in the land where you were born. Verse 3: The photo snapped, her smiling face, beside their anti-craft, It burned into the hearts of men, who fought and paid the cost. She called our boys the criminals, the Viet Cong the just, Her words a blade that cut so deep, betraying sacred trust. (Chorus) Oh, Jane, oh, Jane, why’d you turn away? You stood with the Viet Cong, left your country in dismay. The boys in Hanoi’s shadow cried, their trust in you was torn, Jane Fonda, they called you traitor, in the land where you were born. Verse 4: Back home the folks, they shook their heads, their anger turned to pain, The veterans cursed her name aloud, through tears of bitter rain. She said, “I’m sorry,” years gone by, but scars don’t fade so fast, The shadow of her Hanoi trip, forever it will last. (Chorus) Oh, Jane, oh, Jane, why’d you turn away? You stood with the Viet Cong, left your country in dismay. The boys in Hanoi’s shadow cried, their trust in you was torn, Jane Fonda, they called you traitor, in the land where you were born. Outro: So sing this song of Jane’s regret, a tale of choice and shame, A star who walked with enemy lines, and lit a lasting flame. Oh, Jane, your story’s written now, in history’s cold embrace, A traitor’s mark, some say it sticks, no time can quite erase. Spoken: The song reflects the perspective of those who labeled Jane Fonda a traitor due to her 1972 visit to Hanoi, where she posed with North Vietnamese soldiers, sat on an anti-aircraft gun, and made radio broadcasts criticizing U.S. actions. These events led to her nickname “Hanoi Jane” among critics. (Chorus) Oh, Jane, oh, Jane, why’d you turn away? You stood with the Viet Cong, left your country in dismay. The boys in Hanoi’s shadow cried, their trust in you was torn, Jane Fonda, they called you traitor, in the land where you were born.
