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”

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
