Ballad of the Green Berets   - Barry Sadler –

 

Fighting soldiers from the sky

Fearless men who jump and die

Men who mean just what they say

The brave men of the Green Beret

 

(Chorus)

Silver wings upon their chest

These are men, America’s best

One hundred men will test today

But only three win the Green Beret

 

Trained to live off nature’s land

Trained in combat, hand-to-hand

Men who fight by night and day

Courage peak from the Green Berets

 

(Repeat the chorus)

Silver wings upon their chest

These are men, America’s best

One hundred men will test today

But only three win the Green Beret

 

Back to home a young wife waits

Her Green Beret has met his fate

He has died for those oppressed

Leaving her his last request

 

“Put silver wings on my son’s chest

Make him one of America’s best

He’ll be a young man they’ll test one day

Have him win the Green Beret”
