Hello all,

I am new to this forum. I spent 10 years in te 2/75th Ranger Battalion so I know a few "jodies". Here is a sample...

Hail, Hail Rock and Roll
The sound of the rotors are loud and cold
And I was always ready to go
So early in the morning

They took us up a mile high
And one by one we all came down
We stabbed and sliced with bayonet
Killing those fools without regret

Hail, Hail Rock and Roll
The sound of the rotors are loud and cold
And I was always ready to go
So early in the morning

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger where have you been?

I been around the world and back again!

Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger how did you go?

In a C-130, flyin' low!

Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger what did you do?

I smashed commie heads for me and you!

Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger how did you get back?

In a black and gold body sack!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Coon skin and alligator hide,
Makes a pair of jump boots just the right size

Stand up, Hook up, Shuffle to the door
Jump right out on the count of four

If my chute don't open wide,
I have a reserve by my side

If that one should fail me too,
Look out ground I'm comin through

Pin my wings upon my chest,
Tell my mama I done my best

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have tons more by most would make you all blush =p

Another version of the Airborne jody

So ya wanna be an Airborne Ranger

Live a life of fun and danger

Airborne, airborne, have ya heard?

We're gonna jump from a big iron bird

Stand up, hook up, wait at the door

Step right out at the count of four

If my chute don't open wide

I've got another one at my side

If that chute don't open too

Tell the devil I'm coming through
