In the Early Morning Rain
Army Marching Cadence
Got a letter in the mail,
Got to war or go to jail.
Got a letter in the mail,
In the early morning rain.
I packed my bags, I kissed my wife.
And headed for the Air Force life.
I packed my bags, I kissed my wife,
In the early morning rain.
I told my son not to cry,
But I had tears in my eyes.
I told my son not to cry,
In the early morning rain.
With my weapon in my hand,
And a pocket full of sand,
With my weapon in my hand,
In the early morning rain.
Got the enemy to my front,
And the ocean to my rear.
Wounded dying’s all I hear,
In the early morning rain.
As I’m laying here to rest,
Caught a bullet in the chest,
Even though I’ve done my best,
In the early morning rain.
Tell my darling not to cry,
Cause I’ll never say good-bye.
Tell my darling not to cry,
In the early morning rain.
Many a soldier will die today,
Guess there’s nothing left to say.
So our children, they can play,
In the early morning rain.
Yes, now Sergeant I can see,
Why this training’s good for me.
Forever more we will be free,
In the early morning rain.
Fort Sill 1979,/ 1st cannon Training Bn. 3rd Platoon, 3rd squad.
In the early mornin’ rain
With the enemy to my front
and the ocean to my rear
I will fight my way from hereheeere
In the early mornin’ rain
With my weapon in my hand
and my pockets full of sand
I Will make my final stanaaaand
In the early mornin’ rain
Oh my darlin’ don’t you cry
as I lay me down to die
all man can do is cryrrrrry
In the early mornin’ rain
In the early mornin’ rain
Love it thanks
