MARCHING CADENCES
CADENCIAS DE MARCHAS

Cadences are designed to not only keep a group of members in step, but are also used to motivate and inspire members, giving them a sense of teamwork and pride in their unit, their jobs, and themselves. The member leadership is occasionally required to know and call an appropriate cadence when marching a group of members, or during a physical fitness run. The cadences listed below are marching cadences.  It is a good idea for all members to become familiar with these cadences, but it is particularly important for members that are new in our organization to know at least 4 marching and 4 running cadences.

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained to combat hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage taken from the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America's 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 son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret

Let 'em blow, let 'em blow
Let the four winds blow
From the East to the West
Alpha company is the best

Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
From the east to the west
Alpha company is the best

Here we go again
Same old stuff again
Marching down the avenue
Six more weeks and we'll be through
I'll be glad and so will you

Hi Ho Diddly Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my sixteen in my hand
I wanna be a fighting man

Hi Ho Diddly Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my woman in my arms
I wanna show her all my charms
Hi Ho Diddly Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my bottle in my hand
I wanna be a drinking man

Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

Momma, momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me
Momma,momma, can't you see
what the Army's done to me

Chorus

They took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearing Army greens

Used to drive a Cadillac
Now I hump it on my back

Used to date a beauty queen
Now I hug my M-16

Used to drive a Chevrolet
Now I'm walking all the way

Got a letter in the mail
Go to war or go to jail
Got a letter in the mail
In the early morning rain

I packed my bags, I kissed my wife
And headed for the Army life
I packed my bags, I kissed my wife
In the early morning rain

I told my son not to cry
But I had tears in my eyes
I told my son not to cry
In the early morning rain

With my weapon in my hand
And a pocket full of sand
With my weapon in my hand
In the early morning rain

Got the enemy to my front
And the ocean to my rear
Wounded dying's all I hear
In the early morning rain

As I'm laying here to rest
Caught a bullet in the chest
Even though I've done my best
In the early morning rain

Tell my darling not to cry
Cause I'll never say good-bye
Tell my darling not to cry
In the early morning rain

Many a soldier will die today
Guess there's nothing left to say
So our children, they can play
In the early morning rain

Yes, now Sergeant I can see
Why this training's good for me
Forever more we will be free
In the early morning rain

I don't know why I left
But I know I done wrong
And it won't be long
'Til I get on back home

Got a letter in the mail
Join the Army or go to jail
And it won't be long
'Til I get on back home

They put me in a barber chair
Wheeled me 'round, I had no hair
And it won't be long
'Til I get on back home

A yellow bird
with a yellow bill
Was perched upon
my window sill
I lured him in
with a piece of bread
And then I smashed
his little head
The doctor came
to check his head
"Indeed" he said
"this bird is dead"
A little mouse
with little feet
Was perched upon
my toilet seat
I pushed him in
I flushed him down
I watched him spin
'round and 'round

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She'd say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away

Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away

. . .Around the block she pushed a baby carriage

. . .Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers

They say that in the Army the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine

Chorus:
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army. . .

. . .the chow is mighty fine
a chicken jumped off the table and started marking time

. . .the biscuits are mighty fine
one rolled off the table
and killed a friend of mine

. . .the training's might fine
last night there were ten of us,
now there's only nine

. . .the pay is mighty fine
they give you a hundred dollars
and take back ninety-nine
