You can hear it in the heat of the jungle
You can hear it across the sea
It calls to every freedom loving man
The cry of the US Infantry
Follow Me! Follow Me!
From Concord Bridge to An Khe Ridge
Through the swamps and mountains and sand
They fight and die where brave men lie
Against all tyrants they stand
You can hear it in the heat of the jungle
You can hear it across the sea
It calls to every freedom loving man
The cry of the US Infantry
Follow Me! Follow Me!
