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
