Beautiful Lady
Once there was a beautiful girl
In the countryside side of Vietnam
Born and raised in old Phan Rang
Where life was simple and calm
Raven hair and snow white skin
She was fairest of her town
Many suitors followed her
She chose wisest around
Married at sixteen
Gave birth that same year
Fled the fall of Saigon
Left her homeland in tears
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
Raised five kids in America
While working ten hour days
Faced all sorts of bigotry
But never lost her way
Put her kids in universities
By running furniture stores
Helped her siblings to America
And opened their doors
Married at sixteen
Gave birth that same year
Fled the fall of Saigon
Left her homeland in tears
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
In the countryside side of Vietnam
Born and raised in old Phan Rang
Where life was simple and calm
Raven hair and snow white skin
She was fairest of her town
Many suitors followed her
She chose wisest around
Married at sixteen
Gave birth that same year
Fled the fall of Saigon
Left her homeland in tears
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
Raised five kids in America
While working ten hour days
Faced all sorts of bigotry
But never lost her way
Put her kids in universities
By running furniture stores
Helped her siblings to America
And opened their doors
Married at sixteen
Gave birth that same year
Fled the fall of Saigon
Left her homeland in tears
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
Beautiful lady
Strong will and strong mind
Her sacrifices
Helped us grow strong and free
Beautiful lady
Great mother of mine
The strength that she carried
Lives on in me
