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.
