Ballad Of the Green Berets

Artist: Ssgt. Barry Sadler (peak Billboard position # 1 for 5 weeks in
1966)
Words and Music by Ssgt. Barry Sadler and Robin Moore


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

CHORUS

Back at 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 man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret”

Shouldn't someone who's won it be able to spell it?

Don't mind Defi, he's just... well... Defi. How else can it be explained?
But if you just won a Green Beret, you'd better learn how to spell it! Here
are the words.
Congratulations! I know what it means, my cousin was one in Vietnam.

The Ballad Of The Green Beret
by Sgt. 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

Silver wings upon their chests
These are men America's best


One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Learned to lived off nature's land
Trained in combat hand to hand


Men who fight by night and day

Courage take the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chests
These are men America's best


One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits


Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed

Leaving her one last request...
"Put silver wings on my sons chest


Make him one of America's best

He'll be a man they test one day


Have him win the Green Beret


Nancy
