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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As he grew up[00:00:29]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ten thousand miles away[00:01:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Would not have understood[00:02:38]

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

Exactly like they said[00:02:41]

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

With everything we had[00:02:45]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Glory glory hallelujah[00:03:20]

Glory glory hallelujah[00:03:25]

Glory glory hallelujah[00:03:31]

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

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