The Ballad of the Green Barets
By SSGT. 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 Baret

Silver wings
Upon thier chest
These are men
America's best
100 men 
Will test today
But only 3
Win the Green Baret

Trained to live
Off natures land
Trained in combat
Hand to hand
Men who fight 
By night and day
Courage leak
From the Green Baret

Silver wings
Upon thier chest
These are men
America's best
100 men 
Will test today
But only 3
Win the Green Baret

Back at home
A young wife waits
Her Green Baret
Has met his fate
He has died 
For those oppressed
Leaving her 
This last request

Put siver wings
On my sons chest
Make him one 
Of America's best
He'll be a man
They test someday
Have him win 
The Green Baret
