A SOLDIERING I MUST GO
Across the ocean and through the woods
A soldiering I must go
Through the screaming bullets I'll try to be good
A soldiering I must go.
My family I must leave behind
A soldiering I must go
It breaks my heart to think of our mankind
A soldiering I must go.
Putting up with snakes, bugs and crud
A soldiering I must go
With even the flow of my life's blood
A soldiering I must go.
My conscious tells me it for the Red, White and Blue
A soldiering I must go
If I return home when all is through
A soldiering I must go.
To a country that hates my very soul
A soldiering I must go
We do this for my family and our country as a whole
A soldiering I must go.
Think not of the awful things I may see
A soldiering I must go
Another war in our quest to stay free
A soldiering I must go.
