Here you go roaddog!
We lay down all their rolling roads and cut down all their trees
And if the order ever comes, we’d forge the raging seas
When ever they want to sleep awhile, we put them up a town
And we build the blasted bridges so the Infantry won’t drown
We put them over rivers and across the mountain streams
Do everything but tuck them in and wish them pleasant dreams
And when the going’s really tough, and shells do burst our ears
The whole Division’s apt to say, GOD, SEND THE ENGINEERS
We build and blow your bridges and fix your roads up too,
There aren't too many things in life an ENGINEER can't do.
You never seem to need us 'til your minds are filled with fear,
Then the first thing that you call for are the Combat ENGINEERS.
We plan and guard your barriers, and we build your bunkers too,
And each and every war we prove what the ENGINEERS can do.
For in the thick of every fight, the cry has been for years
Come clear the pass, and save our ass, you Combat ENGINEERS.
Now your gettin' me misty......
got a pocket full of sand,
M16 in my hand,
hear the cannons to the rear,
wish to hell I wasn't here...
mama mama, don't you cry,
Engineers, they never die,
they just slowly fade away,
live to fight another day...
it's never to early to raise a beer for the Engineers-
here's to the 23rd Engineer Company (Heavy), Charlie Co., 802nd Engineer Battalion, and HHC, 326th Engineer Battalion...sometimes I really miss my contact maintenance truck...
