The Ballad Of The Green Berets

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, America's best
 One hundred men will test today
 But only three win the Green Beret
 Trained to live off nature's land
 Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
 Men who fight by night and day
 Courage take from the Green Berets
 Silver wings upon their chest
 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 his 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
