Airborne Ranger

(While the caller says “Airbooooooorne”The formation says: Lock and load, pull the trigger…ratt-tat-tat-boom

While the callder says “Raaaaaaangers Lead The Way

The formation says: Die…die….why won't you die)

Walking down the street one day

Met a total stranger

He asked me what I wanted to be

I said an Airborne Ranger

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

I'm sitting in my foxhole

Sharpening my knife

Up jumped the enemy

I had to take his life

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

I went to wake up the Sergeant

He was lying in his bed

I went to turn him over

I found out he was dead

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

My buddies in a foxhole

With a bullet in his head

The medic said he's wounded

But I know that he's dead

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

I hear the choppers coming

They're flying over head

They come to get the wounded

But all they find is dead

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

Out in the battle field covered in blood

There lies a ranger dying in the mud

Chorus:Airbooooooooorne Raaaaaaaangers Lead The Way

*We also sang this at Fort Benning, but only sang a couple of the chorus and also the formation would sing “shoot, shoot, shoot the son of a bitch” during Airboooooooorne and “die, die, why won’t you die” during Rangers lead the way.
