You can have your Army khakis,
and your Navy Blues,
but here's a different fightin' man
I introduce to you

His uniform is unlike
any you've ever seen
The Germans call him Devil Dog
His title is Marine

He was trained on Parris Island
the land that God Forgot
The sand was 14 inches deep
The Sun was Blazin Hot

He wakes up every mornin
To see the risin' sun
He runs about a hundred miles
before the day is done

And when I go to Heaven
St Peter I will tell
Another Marine reporting, Sir
Ive served my time in Hell

On Parris Island

Race, You forgot to tell them that the chorus to that verse is Marine, Marine, Marine, and it is sung to the tune of "Ghostriders in the Sky". And it was around when I hit boot camp in '65

Thanks for the ping!

Anybody got a copy of the poem "Blues in the Attic" laying around? If not, I think I can scrounge it up - - it's up in my attic somewhere. (Sheesh.)

Anyways, Happy Birthday Marines, and Semper fidelis.
