Queen of Battle
Marine Corps Marching Cadence
Up in the morning at a quarter to four
I grab my pack, I’m out the door
My baby asks me where I’ll go
I’ll tell her “Baby I don’t know”
Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free
Drop me off in the battle zone
A thousand miles away from home
I pray to God and ask him why
When freedom calls I have to die
Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free
Laying on a foreign land
Bleeding on the foreign sand
The ground is stained a crimson red
Before they find me I’ll be dead
Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free
Hail, hail, infantry
The Queen of Battle follows me
The Marine Corps life is the life for me
‘Cause nothing in this life is free
