MARINE CORPS CADENCE - INFANTRY CADENCE
|
|
I left the sky in the middle of the night
I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight.
Colt .45 and Kabar by my side
These are the tools that make men die.
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.
Here I lie in this foreign land
Bleeding on this foreign sand.
Ground around me turning red
By the time they find me, I'll be dead.
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.
In the middle of the night in the drizzle and rain,
I packed my chute and ran to the plane.
Mission top secret mission unknown,
We do not know if we're comin' home.
Stand up buckle up shuffle to the door,
Jumped right out and shout MARINE CORPS!
If my chute don't open wide
I've got another one by my side.
If that chute don't open round
I'll be the first one to hit the ground.
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.
Tell my mama not to cry
Cause in the Corps it's do or die.
Pin my wings upon my chest
Tell my girl I've done my best.
Place a Kabar in my hand.
I'll fight my way to the promise land.
We're lean and mean
We're the US Marines
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause I'm Marine Corps infantry!
I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight.
Colt .45 and Kabar by my side
These are the tools that make men die.
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.
