Drill Sergeant DePalo – I Left My Home Marching Cadence

Your momma was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your daddy was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your sister was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your brother was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your dog was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your cat was home when you left.
You’re right!
The fish was home when you left.
You’re right!
Your mommy and daddy, your brother, your sister, the dog, the cat, the fish was home when you left.
You’re right!
And that’s the reason you left.
You’re right!

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,
Column left, March!
We join the army!

Follow me!
I know you can make it!
I know you can take it!
Follow the man in the green bray!
This stuff is how he earns his pay!
