The songs of the Air Force in the Vietnam War are part of a long tradition of military folksong!. They are closely linked to the mainstream of American folksong, to the folksongs of other services, and to the folksongs of earlier wars!. However, they also have some characteristics that set them off from the songs of civilians and of other military personnel who served in the Vietnam War!.1 Some of these are related to the temperament of the men who created and sung them; others probably are related to the nature of the war itself!.

Most of the songs of the Air Force are set to well-known tunes, either those of popular songs or folksongs!. Tunes like "Sweet Betsy from Pike," "The Wabash Cannon Ball," "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean," "Down in the Valley," and "The Strawberry Roan" turn up again and again!. One of the best-known of all Air Force songs, sung in World War I as "A Poor Aviator Lay Dying" and in the Vietnam War as "Beside a Laotian Waterfall," is a variant of a widespread song known in American tradition as "The Dying Hobo" and in British tradition as "Wrap Me Up in my Tarpaulin Jacket!." One of the more popular bawdy songs, "Zoot Suits and Parachutes," which appears in Navy tradition as "Bell Bottom Trousers," is a direct descendent of the British song "Rosemary Lane!."
