If I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Issue my rifle to another Marine,
It served me well and I know it's clean
Put me in a set of Dress Blues,
Comb my hair and shine my shoes.
Pin my medals upon my chest
Tell my mamma I did my best
When I get to heaven, St. Peter he will say
"How did you earn your living, how did you earn your pay?"
I reply with a little bit of thunder,
Made my livin' killing down under
(or this line)
When I go home, the pro-testers they will say
"How did you earn your livin', how did you earn your pay?",
I reply as Itake out my knife,
"Get outa my way before Itake your life..."
If I die in a combat zone,
box me up and ship me home.
Pin my medals upon my chest.
Tell my mamma I did my best.
Mothers of America, don't you cry.
The Marine Corps motto is "Do or die."
With my K-Bar in my hand,
fighting my way to the promised land.
Red dog leader, this is red dog one.
Send me on another one.
