C Company

 - Battle Hymn Of Lt. Calley

Featuring Terry Nelson



Once upon a time there was a

Little boy who wanted to grow up

And be a soldier and serve his country

In whatever way he could



He would parade around the house

With a sauce pan on

His head for a helmet

A wooden sword in one hand

And the American flag in the other



As he grew up

He put away the things of a child

But he never let go of the flag



My name is William Calley

I'm a soldier of this land

I've tried to do my duty

And to gain the upper hand



But they've made me out a villain

They have stamped me with a brand

As we go marching on



I'm just another soldier

From the shores of U.S.A.

Forgotten on a battle field

Ten thousand miles away



While life goes on as usual

From New York to Santa Fe

As we go marching on



I've seen my buddies ambushed

On the left and on the right

And their youthful bodies riddled

By the bullets of the night



Where all the rules are broken

And the only law is might

As we go marching on



While we're fighting in the jungles

They were marching in the street

While we're dying in the rice fields

They were helping our defeat



While we're facing V.C. bullets

They were sounding a retreat

As we go marching on



With our sweat, we took the bunkers

With our tears, we took the plain

With our blood, we took the mountains

And they gave it back again



Still all of us are soldiers

We're too busy to complain

As we go marching on



When I reach my final campground

In that land beyond the sun

And the great commander asks me

Did you fight or did you run



I'll stand both straight and tall

Stripped of medals, rank and gun

And this is what I'll say



Sir, I followed all my orders

And I did the best I could

It's hard to judge the enemy

And hard to tell the good

Yet there's not a man among us

Would not have understood



We took the jungle village

Exactly like they said

We responded to their rifle fire

With everything we had

And when the smoke had cleared away

A hundred souls lay dead



Sir, the soldier that's alive

Is the only one can fight

There's no other way to wage a war

When the only one in sight

That you're sure is not a V.C.

Is your buddy on your right



When all the wars are over

And the battle's finally won

Count me only as a soldier

Who never left his gun



With the right to serve my country

As the only prize I've won



Glory, glory, hallelujah

Glory, glory, hallelujah
