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, standing 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
That day I left, I shook my daddy's hand
He say that I, had become a man
Owie owie owie owie owie owie
To join the army.
