I left my home, to join the army

I left my home, to join the army

The day I left, my momma cried

She thought that I would surely die

I left my wife, crying at the door

She knew that I would die at war

I left my son playing in the yard

Seeing daddy leave made him cry so hard

Oowie oowie, oowie oowie

Oowie oowie, oowie oowie

Left, march! We join the army

I left my home, to join the army

I left my home, to join the army

The day I left, my momma cried

She thought that I would surely die

I left my wife, crying at the door

She knew that I would die at war

I left my son playing in the yard

Seeing daddy leave made him cry so hard

Oowie oowie, oowie oowie

Oowie oowie, oowie oowie

Left, march! We join the army
