To the tune of "The Old Gray Mare", with motions

I may never march in the infantry (march in place)
Ride in the calvary,               (hold "reins", bounce as if riding)
Shoot the artillery,               (shoot imaginary rifle)
I may never fly o'er the enemy    (hold out arms as airplane wings)
but I'm in the Lord's army       (point to self on "I" & up   
                                           on "Lord's")
I'm in the Lord's army, YES SIR!   (same motions, "yes sir" LOUD)
I'm in the Lord's army, YES SIR!   (ditto)

REPEAT FIRST VERSE WITH SAME MOTIONS

In the "Old Gray Mare" Lyric Request thread in 2005, Franz S. mentioned singing this "57 years ago". Can anyone take it back before 1948?
