C-130 Army Cadence

C130 is one of those running cadences that has been adapted by all services and all units. While it was tough to decide which service this belonged to I decided to add it to the Army Category since the C-130 is a an Army Aircraft (Although the Coast Guard and Air Force have a few) and the Airborn is an Army unit.

If you would like to add additional stanzas of “C-130 rolling down the strip” Please drop it in the comments and I’d love to add your lines.

C-130 Rolling down the Strip ( Classic Army Marching Cadence)

C130 rollin down the strip

Airborn ranger Gonna take a little trip

Stand up, buckle up, Shuffle to the door

Jump right out and count to four

And if my chute don’t open wide

I have another one by my side

And if that chute don’t open round

I’ll be the first one on the ground.

If I die on the combat zone

Box me up and ship me home.

—-Other Endings——

If I die in the Spanish Moors / Bury me deep with a case of Coors

If I die in a firefight / Bury me deep with a case of Lite

If I die in a German Blitz / Bury me deep with a case of Schlitz

If I die don’t bring me back / Bury me with a case of Jack

If I die in the Korean mud / Bury me with a case of Bud

Bury speakers all around my head / So I can rock with the Grateful Dead

Bury speakers all around my toes / So I can rock with Axel Rose
