I am training for Nijmegen again this year, and today I tried out "Johnny Come down to Hilo" as a marching song, with new lyrics designed for Canadian military marchers. It seemed to work well, especially the "Oh, wake her, oh shake her" which I could bellow all day without losing my breath. I also changed "with the blue dress on" to "with the CADPAT on", referring to the Canadian Forces pattern of camouflage combat uniforms.

Lt Nielsen:

I hope I do get to sing it in Nijmegen, but I may well not be able to go. People who have completed all the training and have never gone before have priority, and there were enough first timers who qualified this year to fill all the spots on my team. My chances of going will now depend on a spot becoming vacant on another team. If I don't go this year, I will tell my team mates to sing it for me.

Have a good march.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I found alot of interesting examples of cadences on http://www.gruntsmilitary.com/cadence/journal.cgi

I'm not sure about if you'll be familiar with the tunes though, if your not from the US.

Samantt:

I could give you the lyrics to quite a few songs, but if you don't know the tunes the words won't help you much.

A lot of good marching songs are based on traditional and older British and American popular tunes. For example, "Our Sergeant Major" mentioned earlier in this thread is sung to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

I have had good results with a couple of sea chanties, "Johnny Come Down to Hilo" and "Roll the Old Chariot". If you know any sea chanties, some could work well for you.

Some of my favourite marching songs are "Mama, mama, can't you see", "They say that in the Army", "Hey, hey, Captain Jack", and "Way, hey, rock and roll." The words are often pretty stupid and the tunes are simple, but they can keep you going when you are tired and your feet hurt.

You will need at least one real song leader, somebody who can sing loud and isn't tone deaf. A "good" voice is nice, but not essential. Call and response songs are the easiest because the whole group doesn't have to learn all the words. However, the song leader has to know the tune cold, even if he or she uses a song sheet for the words.

Simple tunes, without too much variation in pitch and fairly short lines, work the best. I have found that some good songs don't adapt easily to marching because they are just too hard to sing while marching at 5 km an hour or more. My marching was done wearing a rucksack, so it might be easier for your group.

Final word of advice: make sure your cadets drink lots of water throughout the march. They will suffer if they don't.

Good luck

Edmund

marching along singing this song while on a field trip.
Oh well,at least I still remember the characteristics
of the family Primulaceae.

To the tune The Ants Go Marching One by One

Herbs with opposite or whorled leaves Hurrah, Hurrah
Flowers five merous the petals united Hurrah, Hurrah
Stamens five and opposite the petals,
Ovary superior, placentation free central,
And the fruit is a capsule in Primulaceae.

That's definitely a Canadian army song, but the correct title is "Old King Cole". I first heard when I was in Army Cadets years ago. It goes like this:

Old King Cole was a (merry old soul)(or horny ass hole)
And a merry old soul was he
And he called for his pipe in the middle of the night (in the first that I first heard it was "he called for his wife")
And he called for his privates three.

Beer, beer, beer said the privates,
Merry men are we
There's none so fair as can compare
To (insert name of unit or other group that rhymes with we, e.g. Bravo Company)

The song then builds, adding a rank each time, always ending up with beer, beer, beer said the privates. There are various versions. One that comes to mind right now is:

Left, right, left, right, left said the corporals
Move to the right in threes said the sergeants
Put that man on charge said the warrants
What shall we do now? said the louies
We do all the work said the captains
We want six weeks leave said the majors
Bring us in more wine said the colonels
Where the hell's my car, said the generals

I am a cadet in the Air Training Corps (Air Cadets) and currently doing training for the nijmegen march, although I can't do it this year as I'm not yet 16.
So far the training weekends I've done have gone really well, and I've definately been helped along by the singing (good and bad). I especially like 'Way, hey rock and roll' - that's best in the early morning down by the sea front when it's raining.
I've sung a lot of the songs mentioned here, but some with slightly different versions. Does anyone know any different lyrics to the song with the chorus "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die"? I heard a couple of people singing a really good version with not so many repeats and I really want to learn it.
Here's another song that has a good tune:

(Verses to be repeated after each line)

When my grandaddy
Was one hundred and one
He did the Nijmegen marches
Just for fun

Chorus (to be sung after each verse):
He sang 'your left, your left'
(others) Your left, your left
Your left, right, left
(others) Your left, right, left
He sang 'your left, your left'
(others) Your left, your left
Your nijmegen left
(others) Your nijmegen left

When my grandaddy
Was one hundred and two
He did the Nijmegen marches
Just like me and you

Chorus

Verses are repeated with the following:

One hundred and three - He did the Nijmegen marches/ Between his lunch and his tea
One hundred and four - He said I can't slow down now/ For you boys no more
One hundred and five - Well he taught me the two-step/ For the Nijmegen jive
One hundred and six - He said well come on boys/ This ones for forty clicks
One hundred and seven - Well the poor man died/ And he went to heaven
One hundred and eight - With his head held high/ Walked through those pearly gates
One hundred and nine - Well he had all them angels/ All marching in time
One hundred and ten - He said let me back down/ I want to do that again

Thanks to Edmund for all his suggestions and tips on doing the actual Nijmegen. You should get webbing - it's so much better than wearing a rucksack.

I can't think right now of other lyrics to go with the chorus of "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die." I'll post them later on if I come up with something.

I am training (with my boss's permission) for Nijmegen yet again, but I have no more expectation than last year of being able to go. However, it does me good and gets me out of the office three times a week.

The new small pack that has now been issued to just about everybody in the Canadian Army is a good piece of kit - a lot better than the old rucksack. We have to carry 10 kg of dead weight, i.e. beyond water and food, so I'm not sure that webbing would do the trick.

I'm glad to see someone your age using the Mudcat. Why not get a membership?

It sounds like some of the lyrics you quoted belong in a different song altogether. The part in your version that goes:

"I.............am crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Certified crazy.
Bonified crazy,
My Mama says I'm crazy,
The Lone Ranger,
Hi Ho Silver.
Getti up, Getti up, getti up, up up"

doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Captain Jack song. At any rate, I haven't heard these words in the last three years.

Do we know each other, by the way? I may be at Nijmegen this summer, so say hello if you make it there.

Nowadays at Nijmegen you're likely to hear that one sung by the Dutch, but not by the Canadians or Americans.

The stars have aligned themselves in my favour, and it looks like I will be marching at Nijmegen after all, but on an international team rather than one of the Canadian Forces teams.

Here's one that I wrote last year for my Nijmegen team, to the tune of "Johnny Come Down to Hilo". Local references: CADPAT = Canadian Disruptive Pattern camouflage; the Rideau is the Rideau River that joins the Ottawa River not very far from my house:

JOHNNY COME DOWN THE RIDEAU

I ain't never seen the like since I've been born,
Canadian soldier with his rucksack on,
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

CHORUS:

Oh wake her, oh shake her!
Shake that gal with the CADPAT on!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

I heard the Sergeant-Major say
I like marching every day!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Oh, get your ass up off your rack
Cause we're marching there and we're marching back!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Oh, life is good and life is sweet
When you've got blisters on both your feet!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

I don't go marching for the cash.
I only do it 'cause I like heat rash!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Oh, I got a gal across the sea,
She's a marching fool and she says to me
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

I wish we'd march the civilian way,
And stop at Timmie's nine times a day!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

I heard my team leader shout
My toenail's black and it's falling out!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

You ask me how we deal with pain.
The secret is we have no brain!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Why do I march in any weather?
It's just because I like black leather!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Oh, you don't need drugs, you don't need a pill.
You'll never get sick if you just do drill!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

Oh, when it rains, it's a damn sure bet
That the infantry is getting wet!
Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man!

I've always said a different line in what you call "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die" - formaly known as "The Flying Fortress"
Here goes...

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
With a rifle up your ass and a bullet in your eye..

Heres a few more I know, if anyones interested...

Airborne Ranger

Two old lady's lyin in a bed..
One rolled over and the other one said
I wanna life of danger
I wanna be an airborne ranger

C-130 rollin down the strip
Airborne Rangers' gonna take a trip
Stand up, buckle up, shufle to the door
Jump right out on the count of four

If my main don't open wide
I gotta reserve by my side
and if that one should fail me two
look out ground im comin through

(change to sing-song tune...)
And when I go to heaven
St Peter's gonna say
"How'd you enjoy your livin boy
How'd you enjoy your pay?"
And I reply with a little bit of anger
I lived my life as an Airborne Ranger
Blood and guts, glory and danger
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger
And when I go to hell
Satan's gonna say
"How'd you enjoy your livin boy,
How'd you enjoy your pay?"
And I'll reply with a whole lot of anger
I lived my life as an Aiborne Ranger
Blood and guts, glory and danger
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger

Here's a pretty obscene marching song...

Walkin round Canal street,
knockin on every door,
God d*** son of a b****, couldn't find a w****.

Finally found a wh***,
She was tall and thin,
God d*** son of a b**** couldn't get it in.

Finally got it in,
Wiggled it all around,
God d*** son of a b****, couldn't get it out.

Finally got it out,
It was red and sore.
The moral of the story is to never f*** a wh***

Yellow Bird

Yellow bird
with a yellow bill
sittin on
my window sill
I lured him in
with a piece of bread
and then i smashed
his f***ing head.

i am sorry if i didn't seem very sporting, i did not mean it in a selfish way. i haven't been on here for a while so at your request here are some songs :)

Lady in red - is repeated after every line

There's a lady in red
she makes her living on the bed
There's a lady in red
she makes her living on the bed

(chorus)
singing nar nar nar nar
wooo whooo
do do do do do do do do

Theres a lady in green
she a rampant sex machine
Theres a lady in green
she a rampant sex machine

(chorus)

black- see like to take it from the back
white- earns her living through the night
blue- she is making eyes at you
yellow - shes a funny looking fellow
grey- she likes to do it in the hay

there is some others but they get ruder and ruder

The prettiest girl (again this is the lead and is to be repeated after each line and then the whole verse is repeated)

the prettiest girl,
i ever saw
was sipping vodka,
through a straw
the prettiest girl,

we are the team,
who feel no pain,
but thats because,
we have no brains,

(or/and)

oh here we go,
we're at it again,
we're moving out,

i walked right up,
and sat right down,
and ordered up,

i put my hand,
upon her toe,
she said young man,
your rather low,

(Chorus)

i put my hand,
upon her knee,
she said young man,
your teasing me,

(Chorus)

i put my hand,
upon her thigh,
she said young man,
you're far too high,

(Chorus)

i picked her up,
and laid her down,
her long blonde hair,
fell all around,

(Chorus)

i put my hand,
inside her vest,
she said young man,
you surely jest,

(Chorus)

i put my hand,
upon her crutch,
she said young man,
you're far too much,

(Chorus)

i pushed it in,
i pulled it out,
it was so good,
it made her shout,

(Chorus)

the wedding was,
a formal one,
her father hand,
a white shotgun,

(Chorus)

and now i have,
a mother-in-law,
and fourteen kids,
who call me pa,

(Chorus)

the moral of,
this story is clear,
instead of vodka,
stick to beer.

'what a way to die' (flying fortress or blood upon the risers) one version goes something like this:

they flew the flying fortress up to forty thousand feet
they flew the flying fortress up to forty thousand feet
they flew the flying fortress up to forty thousand feet
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)
glory glory what a hell of a way to die
with a bayonet up your arse hole and a bullet in your eye
glory glory what a hell of a way to die
and he ent going to jump no more

he was a rooky trooper and he surly shook with fright
as he checked on his equipment and made sure his pack was tight
he had to sit and listen to those powerful engines roar
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

'is everybody happy'? cried the sergaent looking up
our hero feebly answered yes and then they shood him up
he leaped right out into the blast his static line unhooked
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

he counted loud, he counted long, he waited for the shock
he felt the wind, he felt the clouds, he felt the awful drop
he jerked his cord, the silk spilled out and wrapped around his legs
and he ent going o jump no more

(chorus)

the riser wrapped around his neck , connectors cracked his dome
suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones
the canopy became a shroud, he hurtled to the ground
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

the days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind
he thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind
he thought about the medics and he wondered what they'd find
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

the ambulance was on the shot, the GI's running wild
the medics jumped and screamed with glee, they rolled up their sleeves and smiled
for it had been at least a week since last a chute had failed
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

he hit the ground, the sound was splat, his blood went spirting high
his comrades all were heard to say; ' what a helluva way to die'
he lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)

the was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute
intestines were a danding from the paratroopers' boots
they poured him from his helmet and the scraped him from his chute
and he ent going to jump no more

(chorus)


i hope these are ones you dont have already

Fire Fighter Cadences Query:

I'm reposting this query that was submitted to my website:

"Any ideas on where I can find firefighter jody/cadence calls? Thanks"
-James, 10/21/2007
**

I'm not sure what other answer to give James besidese changing the words to already existing cadences, or making up some new ones. Does anyone here know any firefighter jodies/cadences?

Here's the only two firefighter cadences that are featured on my website's page on Military Cadences:

When I Get To Heaven {Version #2} [Fire Academy Chant]
When I get to heaven St. Peter's he will say "How'd you make your living" "How'd you earn your pay" I'll hold my axe up higher and higher Cause I make my living as a Fire Fighter! Fi-Er-Er-Er-Er Fight-Er-Er-Er-Er-Er And when I go to hell Ole Satan he will say "How'd you make your living" "How'd you earn your pay" I'll hold my hose up higher and higher Cause I make my living as a Fire Fighter! Fi-Er-Er-Er-Er Fight-Er-Er-Er-Er-Er
-Sam A; 11/3/2006 {from a Tech School at a USA Fire Academy}
http://www.cocojams.com/military_cadences.htm



****

When My Great Granny Was 91 [Fire Academy Chant]
"Fire Academy's in the U.S often train in a para-military style. The following is a common cadence heard in the Fire Academy.

When my great granny was 91
She did PT just for fun
When my great granny was 92
She did PT better than you
When my great granny was 93
She did PT better than me
When my great granny was 94
She did PT more and more
When my great granny was 95
She did PT to stay alive
When my great granny was 96
She did PT just for kicks
When my great granny was 97
She up, she died, she went to heaven
When my great granny was 98
She meet St. Peter at the Pearly Gate
She said St. Peter, St. Peter sorry I'm late"
- from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jody_call


****

It appears that james is not the only one searching for firefighter cadences.

http://forums.firehouse.com/archive/index.php/t-80295.html includes this post:

"fireslayer12370 3-31-2006, 12:04 PM
does anyone now any good fire caidences. i am going through my academy now and needed some for our runs and while loading hose"

-snip-

Unfortunately, no examples of cadences were posted to that thread, but fireslayer12370 was given the advice to "Change the words [of military cadences] to suit your academy or local FD, and you have something to start with.

-snip-

That's what I said. :o}

But, I wonder does anyone know any military cadences that were changed to firefighter cadences? Or does anyone have any suggestions of which military cadences could be changed into firefighter cadences?

I'll email the URL of this thread to james in the hopes that he might join in this conversation. And I'll send him any suggestions that might be posted here.

Thanks in advance.

Sung by various Oz infantry in WWI (and featuring in "Oh what a lovely war") to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic;

One staff officer jumped right over another staff officer's back
then the second staff officer jumped right over the first staff officer's back;
a third staff office jumped right over the second staff officer's back
then the fourth staff officer jumped right over'll the other staff officers' backs.
cho
They were only playing leap frog
they were only playing leap frog
they were only playing leap frog
when the last staff officer jumped right over'll the other staff officers' backs.

And, sung in MUR in 1963 and other Oz units before (no doubt) and since;
We're a pack of bastards, bastards are we.
We're from Australia, the arsehole of the world and all the universe, oh
we're a pack of bastards, bastards are we.
We'd rather f**k than fight, for liberty!

While I don't know the name of the tune for the latter (and I've never known it to have any other words, let alone polite ones), I noticed it was used by a military band not long ago during a public ceremony sending some Oz troops to Iraq; sensitivities must have become dulled.

Is everybody happy
Said the sergeant looking up
Our hero feebly answered "Yes"
And then they hooked him up,
He jumped into the slipstream,
And he twisted twenty times,
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:
|: Glory glory what a hell of a way to die,
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die,
And he ain't going to jump no more.
2. He counted loud, he counted long
And waited for the shock
He felt the wind, he felt the air,
He felt that awful drop,
He pulled his lines, the silk came down
And wrapped around his legs
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:

3. The days he lived and loved and laughed
Kept running through his mind
He thought about the medics
And wondered what they would find,
He thought about the girl back home,
The one he left behind.
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:

4. The lines all wrapped around his neck,
The D rings broke his dome,
His lift webs wrapped themselves
In knots around each skinny bone,
His canopy became his shroud
As he hurtled to the ground ,
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:

5. The ambulance was on the spot,
The jeeps were running wild,
The medics, they clapped their hands
And rolled their sleeves and smiled,
For it had been a week or more,
Since last a chute had failed,
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:

6. He hit the ground, the sound was "splat",
The blood went spurting high,
His pals were heard to say
Oh what a lovely way to die,
They rolled him up still in his chute,
And poured him from his boots,
And he ain't going to jump no more.
Chorus:

7. There was blood upon his lift webs,
There was blood upon his chute,
Blood that came a trickling
From his paratrooper boots,
And there he lay like jelly
In the welter of his gore,
And he ain't going to jump no more.

At Ft. Benning, 1968 we used a version closest to what Suz posted just above. The chorus as we did it was "Gory, gory," not "Glory, glory...." And we'd substitute the name of our least popular 'TAC' e.g., "Sergeant Brinker was the last to jump, the first to hit the ground ...." Other than that, that one's been about covered. Oh, but at the risk of being bashed as a pedant, it's got to be, "They took the Flying BOXCAR up to forty thousand feet," not the Flying Fortress, a bomber that wouldn't have anything to do with Airborne. The Flying Boxcar, should anyone care, was an old twin-boom two-engine plane, the C-119. We were about at the end of its tenure; later it was probably, "They took the C-one-thirty up to forty thousand feet."

Actually I don't remember literally marching to "Helluva Way to Die." We sang it if we were being trucked between training sites--just like in Band of Brothers, where they sing it on the road.

The song for the three-mile run was generally another one already noted but with minor changes. Our version always revolved around Bo Diddly

Bo Diddly Bo Diddly, where you been?
Round the world and back again.

BD, BD, have you heard?
I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird.

And so on, as above.

When they did let us march and not double-time, a standard was "Yellow Ribbon"

In her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May (hey! hey!)
And if you asked her why the Hell she wore it,
She wore it for her trooper who was far, far away.

    Far away! (Far away!) Far away! (Far away!)
    She wore it for her trooper who was far far away.

Around the block, she pushed the baby carriage,
She pushed it in the springtime ...
And if you .... she pushed it,
She put it for her trooper ....

Sometimes it was done "for her trooper in the airborne infantry," even though that cost the rhyme.

Madamoiselle from Armentriers (pronounced ar-men-TREERS regardless of what the real French pronuncement might be) is WW I era, but it was brought back in WW II.

MfA, parlez vous? MfA, parlez vous?
MfA has not been kissed for twenty years!
Inky dinky parlez vous.

The second lieutenant carries a pack, parlez vous? x2
The 2nd Lt. carries a pack; we hope to Hell it breaks his back!
Inky dinky parlez vous.

They say this is a mechanized war--parlez vous? x2
They say this is a mechanized war; what in the Hell are we walking for?
Inky dinky parlez vous.

----

There was a Bismarck era German one that I hope I can find some day; all I know is one couplet & I'd be thankful for more. Bear in mind that the first line is just nonsense and "Schneidig" is evidently an obsolete usage, but it was:

    Zicke! Zacke! Jup hei die!
    Schneidig ist die Infantrie.

Free translation: "Ta-ra-ra boom de ay! The Infantry is snappy."

Finally, again at Ft. Benning, late sixties, we had two Irish Guards officers sent over to train with us in an "exchange program." They had a great one about a group of British soldiers going through all the miseries of service and horrors of war. I only heard it once, and only recall that the last line was about what they planned to do when they got out: "And we'll fornicate our ----ing lives away!"

If anyone can help with the last two, I'd appreciate it.

In response to Curious's request of December 7, I remember the lyrics as:

If I were the marrying kind, which, thank the Lord, I'm not, Sir,
The only man whom I would wed would be a Number One, Sir;
He'd order "Fire!" and I'd order "Fire!" and we'd order "Fire!" together.
We'd be all right in the middle of the night ordering "Fire!" together.

Number Two pulls the cord, Number Three lays on, Number Four plants pole, etc.

Perhaps the song Chicken Charlie is trying to remember is "I don't want to join the Army."

I don't want to join the Army,
I don't want to go to war;
I'd rather hang around Pickadilly Underground
Living off the earnings of a high-born lady.
I don't want a bayonet up me arsehole,
I don't want me bollocks shot away.
I'd rather be in England --
Merry, merry England --
Rogering me bloody life away, Gor blimey.

Monday, I touched her on the ankle,
Tuesday, I touched her on the knee,
Wednesday night, success! I lifted up her dress,
Thursday night, she asked me home to tea.
Friday night, I put my hand upon it.
Saturday night, she gave me balls a tweak.
On Sunday after supper,
I shoved the Old Boy up 'er,
And now she earns me seven and six a week, Gor Blimey....

Here's "Wey, hey, Rock and Roll" thanks to Google. I've changed a word here and there, to conform with the lyrics as I remember them. Also, the last verse below was not on the version I found through my Google search.

I liked to sing this with a different chorus that went like this:

Halo, halo infantry
Queen of Battle, follow me
Canadian life's the life for me
But nothing in the world is free

That's how I heard it in 2004, but I'm sure that "Canadian life" was something else in the original. The tune was also different from the tune that is commonly sung to to "Way, hey, Rock and Roll".

Rock n' Roll - Call & Response

Chorus: Wahey Rock and Roll
Wahey Rock and Roll
A little bit of rhythm and soul
Early in the morning

You've landed on the beach again
Your orders are, you're diggin' in
The rising sun's a beautiful thing
Early in the morning

Chorus
You stand-to when the sun goes down
You're watching all the ground around
You stand to watch it rise again
Early in the morning

Chorus

From the bush a rustling sound
Someone's moving on your ground
The enemy's lying all around
Early in the morning

Chorus

The enemy starts a creeping in
Machine gun crews begin to grin
The GPMG makes a terrible din - (Sung jimpy)
Early in the morning

Chorus

You hear a bullet whistle by
You see your buddies fall and cry
Behind you there's a final sigh
Early in the morning

Chorus

You see the Harrier over head
And then you see a flash of red
The rockets are gone, the enemy's dead
Early in the morning

Chorus

You look back to the rear and then
You see the choppers coming in
The rising sun's a beautiful thing
Early in the morning

Chorus

They're hovering just above your head
And then they're down and someone said
We'll take the wounded then the dead
Early in the Morning

Chorus

Now look up to the front you men
They'll come again, you know not when
The rising sun's a beautiful thing
Early in the morning

Chorus

The mortar bombs are raining down
But you just want to hug the ground
You hear your buddies calling round
Early in the morning

Chorus

Your plane is flying far away
You know you're homeward bound today
It's sad so many had to pay
Early in the morning

Chorus

You're on the street
You're walking tall
You turn to hear the people call
You've made the grade, you've done it all
Early in the morning

Chorus

Just been walking at the WARMA march last weekend, and a Dutch group went by us the first day and were singing "hail oh hail oh infantry", but it did sound like halo Infantry. And that would make sense because I heard "Airbourn rangers life for me".

The website that Jay Dougal pointed us to has a number of cadences whose tunes and words appear to be modified versions of 19th/early 20th century African American dance songs and rhymes {that in the late 20th & early 21st century would be considered children's rhymes, but didn't necessarily originate as rhymes for children}.

For instance, see these running cadence chants with either the title of the title or the verse/s of the source songs or rhymes given in brackets:

"Sittin' on a mountain top, beating my drum
Beat it so hard that [t]he MP's come
I said MP, MP, don't arrest me
Arrest that leg behind the tree
He stole the whiskey, I stole the wine
All I ever do is double-time "

[...Oh, Mistah Washin'ton, Don't whoop me,
Whoop dat N**ger Back 'hind dat tree.
He stole tucky, I didn't steal none,
Go wuk him in de co'n field jes fer fun.]
-from T-U-Turkey in Thomas W. Talley: Negro Folk Rhymes, Wise And Otherwise {Kennikat Press Edition, 1968; pps 6-7; originally published, 1922

{also found as "policeman, policeman, don't arrest me" in some collections of children's rhymes}

**

Two old ladies lying in bed
One rolled over to the other and said,
"I wanna be an Airborne Ranger
Live a life of sex and danger
Blood, guts, sex, and danger
That's the life of an Airborne Ranger!"

[line #1-2; "Shortnin Bread"]

**

"AWOL, AWOL, where've you been?
Down in the bars, drinking gin
What ya gonna do when you get back?
Sweat it all out on the PT track"

["Hambone"]

**
There are other examples on that page, but here's a marching cadence posted there whose source song is very easy to identify:

"You get a line and I'll get a pole ) CC
Honey, honey ) G
You get a line and I'll get a pole ) CC
Baby, baby ) G
You get a line and I'll get a pole ) ALL
We'll go down to the fishin' hole ) ALL
Refrain: Honey, oh baby, be mine ) ALL
Go to your left, your right, your left ) ALL
Go to your left, your right, your left, hey! ) ALL
I had a girl who lived on a creek
Honey, honey
I had a girl who lived on a creek
Baby, baby
I had a girl who lived on a creek
She was cute and she was sweet
I had a girl, looked good in blue
Honey, honey
I had a girl, looked good in blue
Baby, baby
I had a girl, looked good in blue
She could make a fool out of you"

[The Crawdad Song]

Here are the instructions that were posted on that page for that song:

"This one doesn't follow the normal call and echo of most cadences. The cadence caller says the CC lines, and the group replies with the G lines, instead of echoing the CC lines, then all call the ALL lines, with no echoing."

Here's one more example from that http://users.netropolis.net/schwartz/jodie.htm website.


They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine
One jumped off the table and started marking time
Refrain: Oh, Lord I wanna go
But they won't let me go (group ends this line with home,
stretched out over 8 paces, and a "Hey" on the right foot
to end the refrain)
They say that in the Army, the pay is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine
They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine
They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine
You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine
They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time
They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine
But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine
They say that in the Army, the mail is so great
Today I got a letter dated 1948
They say that in the Army, the hours are just right
Start early in the morning and work on through the night
They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine
One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind
They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine
They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine
One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine
-snip-

I'm not sure whether this chant has once source song or several. There are a number of rhymes in Talley's Negro Folk Rhyme book that have lines with the end rhymes "fine/time/nine", but one old rhyme that comes to mind is this one:

"Some folks say dat a N**ger won't steal,
But Mosser cotch six in a watermillion fiel'"
-excerpt from "'They Steal' Gossip" ; Talley, p. 110 [Kennikat Edition, 1968

{I've also seen the word "N**gers" given as "preachers".

**

The end rhymes "fine/dime/time/turpentine" are also commonly found in contemporary African American children's rhymes {and contemporary rhymes from other children as well} However, maybe because that product isn't used anymore and children aren't familiar with it,
I haven't found any lines in contemporary children's rhymes that rhyme the word "iodine" with any of those other "ine" or near "ine" words.

**

The person who posted that "They Say..." cadence and the "You Get A Line" cadence found in my last post to this thread indicated that they were marching cadences and wrote this comment about them:

"These two have been around for a long time. There is an old US Army Signal Corps film from the First World War which shows basic trainees at Fort Leonard Wood singing these".

**

Thanks to the person who collected those candences [I couldn't find his [her?] name on that website]. And thanks also to Jay Dougal for alerting Mudcat to that website!

There was a song that a buddy of mine sang to me during international manouvres in Europe. I was with the Dutch 105 batallion of the Korps Commando troepen. He was with the 75th Ranger batallion.

It was something about

.....he's an Airborne Ranger....
...something something..

and it refers to mother, father etc. crying cause he died.

I wish I had more for you guys. Sorry.

Please coudl someone tell me what song this is and have the lyrics to it? The Ranger passed away not so long ago and he was a dear friend.

Thank you so much.
