《Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley》歌词

[00:00:00] Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley - C. Company/Terry Nelson

[00:00:13] Once upon a time there was a

[00:00:15] Little boy who wanted to grow up

[00:00:16] To be a soldier and serve his country

[00:00:18] In whatever way he could

[00:00:20] He would parade around the house

[00:00:22] With a sauce pan on

[00:00:23] His head for a helmet

[00:00:24] A wooden sword in one hand

[00:00:26] And the American flag in the other

[00:00:29] As he grew up

[00:00:30] He put away the things of a child

[00:00:32] But he never let go of the flag

[00:00:36] My name is William Calley

[00:00:38] I'm a soldier of this land

[00:00:41] I've tried to do my duty

[00:00:43] And to gain the upper hand

[00:00:45] But they've made me out a villain

[00:00:48] They have stamped me with a brand

[00:00:50] As we go marching on

[00:00:55] I'm just another soldier

[00:00:57] From the shores of you S A

[00:01:00] Forgotten on a battle field

[00:01:02] Ten thousand miles away

[00:01:05] While life goes on as usual

[00:01:07] From New York to Santa Fe

[00:01:09] As we go marching on

[00:01:14] I've seen my buddies ambushed

[00:01:16] On the left and on the right

[00:01:19] And their youthful bodies riddled

[00:01:21] By the bullets of the night

[00:01:24] Where all the rules are broken

[00:01:26] And the only law is might

[00:01:28] As we go marching on

[00:01:33] While we're fighting in the jungles

[00:01:35] They were marching in the street

[00:01:37] While we're dying in the rice fields

[00:01:40] They were helping our defeat

[00:01:42] While we're facing V C Bullets

[00:01:44] They were sounding a retreat

[00:01:47] As we go marching on

[00:01:51] With our sweat we took the bunkers

[00:01:54] With our tears we took the plain

[00:01:56] With our blood we took the mountains

[00:01:58] And they gave it back again

[00:02:01] Still all of us are soldiers

[00:02:03] We're too busy to complain

[00:02:06] As we go marching on

[00:02:12] When I reach my final campground

[00:02:14] In that land beyond the sun

[00:02:17] And the great commander asks me

[00:02:19] Did you fight or did you run

[00:02:21] I'll stand both straight and tall

[00:02:23] Stripped of medals rank and gun

[00:02:26] And this is what I'll say

[00:02:28] Sir I followed all my orders

[00:02:31] And I did the best I could

[00:02:33] It's hard to judge the enemy

[00:02:35] And hard to tell the good

[00:02:37] Yet there's not a man among us

[00:02:38] Would not have understood

[00:02:40] We took the jungle village

[00:02:41] Exactly like they said

[00:02:43] We responded to their rifle fire

[00:02:45] With everything we had

[00:02:47] And when the smoke had cleared away

[00:02:49] A hundred souls lay dead

[00:02:51] Sir the soldier that's alive

[00:02:53] Is the only one can fight

[00:02:55] There's no other way to wage a war

[00:02:57] When the only one in sight

[00:02:58] That you're sure is not a V C

[00:03:00] Is your buddy on your right

[00:03:02] When all the wars are over

[00:03:04] And the battle's finally won

[00:03:07] Count me only as a soldier

[00:03:09] Who never left his gun

[00:03:11] With the right to serve my country

[00:03:14] As the only prize I've won

[00:03:20] Glory glory hallelujah

[00:03:25] Glory glory hallelujah

[00:03:31] Glory glory hallelujah

[00:03:36] As we go marching on

[00:03:41] As we go marching on
