"The Ballad Of The Green Berets"

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:

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 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".
