"The Old Sergeant" and Jodies
http://steven.newton1.home.att.net/ ^ | 2005 | Steve Newton

The old sergeants platoon was behind the wire today and standing down for a well earned rest.

"Little yellow birdie with a little yellow bill,
Landed on my windowsill;
Lured him in with a crust of bread,
And then I smashed his little yellow head!"

The moral of
this story is
if you want some H&ad,
you need some bread......

One or two I remember from the Hawaiian Infantry Training Center in 1951 goes like this:

"Little birdie in the sky
drop some white stuff in my eye"
"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

"I don't know but I been told
eskimo p***y is mighty cold"

"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

"Jody was there when you left...You're right
Jody was there when you left...You're right

"sound off...1, 2...sound off...3, 4...cadence count
1,2,3,4...1,2...3,4.

It's called "Blood Upon The Risers". And it is sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Here's one for when the deployment or training event is almost over. Let's say it's six days until whatever it is is over.

Six More Days and I'll be home, Babe, Babe
Six More Days and I'll be home, Babe, Babe
Six More Days and I'll be home,

He's Bill Clinton.

Exactly, the long haired maggot version. He doesn't have the long hair anymore, but he's still the same old maggot.

Of course he didn't get your gal, he got Hillary, so to some extent, the joke was on him. :)

Further to your Jody:

If I die on the old drop zone

Box me up and ship me home.

Pin my wings upon my chest.

Bury me in the leaning rest.

And yes, I was one.
