Come all ye young maidens
And hear my sad tale
‘Bout a brave young trooper, who’s chute had failed
As he went up into the cloudy sky
He sang a sad song on his way to die
He sang, “My love, is far-far from me. Far beyond the South China Sea,”
“I left her there, with a tear in her eye, for I must go where brave men die.”
Whoa-whoa-oh, yes I must go where brave men die
As he went out of the plane into the stormy night
I saw the young trooper in a burst of fiery light
As he fell through the night, his chute all in flame
A smile on his lips, he cried out his girl’s name
We found the young trooper
No longer will he be sore
From the great iron bird, he’ll jump no more
His face was pale, as pure as milk
And we wrapped him ‘round in parachute silk
Whoa-whoa-oh, yes we wrapped him ‘round in parachute silk
So all ye young maidens, come listen to me, never love a paratrooper
You’ll never be free
For some dark night when he falls through the sky
His chute will not open; your love will die

After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam
They know the awful toll of war each day
they know more than any the price we pay
A soldier his hands too burned to write
a nurse takes down his words through the lonely night
They have gone to the front where men fought
in the night from Pleiku to Qui Nhon
where war these men fight
Many a wounded soldier pain is eased for a while
by opening his eyes to see a nurses smile
To each of the wounded on the operating shelf
these nurses give a part of themselves
I know every soldier to the last man will
sometimes say a prayer for the nurses of Vietnam
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land

Saigon's a strange city, on the river Mekong shore
A place that can overnight make a rich man poor
A city where it's starving peace, a Paris of the East
A young soldier far from home will sit down for a drink
And a black haired girl with almond eyes will help him not to think
She'll play five hundred rummy for a drink or for love
and you'll swear that she's an angel that's come from up above
Yes, she's so lovely sitting there you know she is the one
Eating a bowl of Chinese soup at a cafe in Cho-Lun
She'll smile at you with ruby lips that look so very sweet
then take you for a little stroll down good ol' Tudo street
Then for a while life is good, the night as sweet as honey
'Til the morning with blood-shot eyes, you find you're out of money
So at Ton Son Nuht you hop a plane and go back to the war
You've forgotten what it was you really came here for.
Though you feel sick you're money is at an end
As you look down on Old Saigon and think
I'll be back again I'll be back again...

Go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back
Well, I don't know
While I'm gone
You'll be the man
Help your mama
When you can
It's a big job
I can see
For a boy
Just pushing three
Son can I have
A little kiss
Just a small one
You won't miss
That's right close
Your sleepy eyes
You shouldn't see
Your daddy cry
So go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back

"Oh lord I'm tired and sad
and I want you oh so bad
I've been away so very long
now I want to go home.
So remember that I love you
that, my dear is true
just say a prayer for your man."
This letter's post-marked 'Vietnam'
"Last night we had a fire fight
machine guns firing tracers through the night
and as we fought,
my thoughts, they turned to you
and I knew, somehow, darling I'll come thrgouh
I've fought in many places
and I've seen war's thousand faces
but after this, my wars are through
and I'll-I'll come home to you
Even thought I'm far away
I'll think of you each day
I'll come home when I can"

I'm watching the raindrops fall,
Watching the shadows on my wall.
I'm tired and all alone.
So many many miles from home.
The rain it reminds me of you.
When it's soft and makes things new.
And the thunder reminds me,
of the little fights we had.
The lightning was when you made
me mad.
And I remember the things we had.
our love when things were bad.
So when the sun goes down
and day is through.
My love I think of you.
Yes i'm lonely, a little bit at times.
But it's not so bad as long as you write
and send pictures.
And I can see how things are at home..
But no mater where I am or where I roam.
I'm watching the raindrops fall.

I'm going home my tour is done.
I'm going home I'm a lucky one.
But I left friends behind me.
who won't come home no more.
Yes many friends remain forever.
On that bloody shore.
But at night when I sleep I know my dreams will be.
About my friends I left across the sea.
I'll hear verbal young men harn laugh again out loud.
We'll all be together in a happy crowd.
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead.
Feel the crash of morters and all my firends are dead.
My friends they fought and gave their all.
My friends they died for freedoms call.
As my dream is ending the'll come and say goodby.
Although I'm sound asleep the tears I'll cry
and they say something which fills my heart with pain.
Tell them about us Sadler don't let us die in vain.
I'm going home my tour is done.

Lay the green sod on me
carve my name in stone
lay the green sod on me
the soldier has come home
don't mourn for me, my darling
don't cry when I am gone
don't mourn for me, my darling
the soldier will come home
my friends have gone before me
and layed their tired bodies down
my friends have gone before me
to prepare the resting ground
let me go to sleep now
to march and fight no more
let me go to sleep now
I'm tired, my body's sore
so lay the green sod on me
put the wreath upon my stone
lay the green sod on me
the soldier has come home

12 men strong and true
12 men fight for you
On their heads a beret of green
12 men, invincible
The A-team
12 men heard the call
Ready to give their all
They bring hope where they are seen
12 men invincible the A-team
From Asia's tropical jungle rain
All the way to Africa's burning plains
Where ever there's trouble
Night or day
Go the men of the Green Beret
To fan the fire of freedoms dream
12 men invincible the A-team

This is dedicated to the parade field trooper
Who never leaves that nice soft garrison
And always looks real pretty
Now in the war torn jungles of Vietnam
You’ll find a certain kind of man
You’ll see him everywhere
He’s a trooper, a garet trooper
Yeah, he’s five foot four, 228 pounds of blubber
Got him a nickel plated 45 tied down low, quick draw holster
Two bandoliers of brasso-ed ammo
Yeah he’s a trooper, a garet trooper
He’s fought from Saigon to Ninh Thuan
In every bar that is, and then only with the girls
And he ain’t won one yet
But he’s a trooper, a garet trooper (garet trooper)
He’s got a hip knife, a side knife, a boot knife, a shoulder knife
And a little bitty one that’s a combination flare gun, dinner set,
and genuine police whistle
But he’s a trooper, a garet trooper
Now I run into one the other day, He told me a story,
He said he'd just this minute come back from
a fifteen day runnin’ fight with the Cong
Said he captured a lot of loot
You know what I saw when I looked down? A spit shined boot
Yeah, he’s a trooper, a garet trooper (garet trooper)
Now poor ole pilot come back today
Half his crew was killed, aircraft shot to hell
But he don’t say much
He’s not a trooper, a garet trooper
And out in the hills and the jungles and the swamps
Living like a bunch of dogs
Are some men wearing funny little green hats
They stay out there and fight for months on end
They don’t say much ‘cause they’re not troopers,
garet troopers (garet troopers)
And I bet finally, when I leave this war torn land
The last thing I’ll see will be,
though I may be in a drunken stupor
I bet it’ll be a garet trooper (garet trooper)
Yeah, they’re all over the place

Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
Oh, won’t you help me Sergeant get me out of Pleiku jail
I don’t know how I got here; I was drunk from the Ho Chi Trail
It was Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
I didn’t mean to be drunk
And bringing you all this shame
But I had a fight with a simpler girl, down in (Mor la Trang???)
It was Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
Now this damning jail has rats and fleas
And snakes crawl on the floor
Take me back to camp, Sarge and I won’t get drunk no more
On Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
There’s VC all around us
It’s looking bad I think
We can’t do a thing Sarge so lets have a little drink
Of Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
Oh, won’t you help me Sergeant get me out of Pleiku jail
I don’t know how I got here; I was drunk from the Ho Chi Trail
It was Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo
(Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo)
Bamiba, Bamiba, Bamiba, wah whoo

Fighting soldiers from the sky
fearless men who jump and die
men who mean just what they say
the brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
these are men Americas best
one hundred men will test today but
only three win the Green Beret
trained to live off natures land
trained in combat hand to hand
men who fight by night and day
courage take from the Green Beret
(Choris)
Silver wings upon their chest
these are men Americas best
one hundred men will test today
but only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
her Green Beret has met his fate
he has died for those oppressed
leaving her this last request
put silver wings on my sons chest
make him one of Americas best
he'll be a man they'll test one day

What is a badge of courage?
What makes men fight and die?
What is the badge of courage?
For which brave men try?
It's a simple little thing we wear.
But a thing not just anyone can share.
You must study and learn and work and earn.
The right to the badge of courage.
What is the badge of courage?
It's sweat and blood and tears.
What is the badge of courage?
It's the work of many years.
It's a thousand purple hearts.
For which our blood is shed.
Our toll is written in histories scroll.
In bright bright lines of red .
And it is the medal of honor.
What is the badge of courage?

Go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back
Well, I don't know
While I'm gone
You'll be the man
Help your mama
When you can
It's a big job
I can see
For a boy
Just pushing three
Son can I have
A little kiss
Just a small one
You won't miss
That's right close
Your sleepy eyes
You shouldn't see
Your daddy cry
So go to sleep
It's getting late
My watch says
It's half past eight
In an hour
I must go
When I'll be back
