They took away my faded jeans,

Now I'm wearing Army Greens.

What this Army's done for me,

I used to drive a Cadillac,

Now I hump it on my back.

Sat me in the Barber's chair,

Spun me around, I had no hair.

Mama, Mama can't you see

What this Army's done for me,

I used to date a beauty queen,

Now I date my M-16.

Around her hair

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon,

She wore it in the spring time in the merry month of May,

And if you asked her why the hell she wore it,

She wore it for the soldier who was far, far away.

FAR AWAY!

She wore it for the soldier who was far, far away.

Around the block she pushed a baby carriage...

Behind the door her daddy kept a shotgun...

In the church the preacher kept a license...

Airborne Ranger (In Combat) II

My home is Ft. Benning,
The land that time forgo-ot.
The mud is 18 inches deep,
The sun is blazing ho-ot.

Sitting on a hilltop,
Eatin beans & fra-anks.
When all of a sudden,
The bullets start to cra-ank.
(Air,bor,or,or,orn Rang er,er,er-er-er)
Sitting in my foxhole,
My boots are caked with mu-ud.
Look over at my buddy,
His face is caked with blood.
(Air,bor,or,or,orn Rang er,er,er-er-er)
You go to get yer Captain,
You find him in his be-ed.
But when you roll him over,
You find that he’s dead.
(Air,bor,or,or,orn Rang er,er,er-er-er)
You go to get yer Sgt,
You find him in his be-ed.
And when you roll him over,
He slaps you in the head
(Air,bor,or,or,orn Rang er,er,er-er-er)
You hear the choppers coming,
They’re hoverin overhead.
They’ve come to get the wounded,
They’ve come to get the dead.
(Air,bor,or,or,orn Rang er,er,er-er-er)
You see the flag awaivin,
It’s waiving overhead.
It’s waiving for the wounded,
It’s waiving for the dead.
