Die Langbeenspinnekoppe - "Our Sergeant Major" (ROOFGAT CD) [#3]

Описание: This is the third song in the "Roof Gat Army Songs" (Afrikaans for "Asshole Army Songs") CD, released by Die Langbeenspinnekoppe in 1998. From what I have found, this song is based upon an old SADF troop song called "My Sergeant Major", which is based upon "Blood On The Risers", an American WW2 Parabat song about a paratrooper's parachute failing to open up. This is one of my favorite songs in this CD. Also, is this the first upload of this song on the internet?

Lyrics:


Our Sergeant Major jumped from seventy-thousand feet

Our Sergeant Major jumped from seventy-thousand feet

Our Sergeant Major jumped from seventy-thousand feet

And he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


They scraped him from the tarmac with a piece of two by four

They scraped him from the tarmac with a piece of two by four

They scraped him from the tarmac with a piece of two by four

And he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


They gave him to the missus in a Lion Matches box

They gave him to the missus in a Lion Matches box

They gave him to the missus in a Lion Matches box

And he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


She've put him on the mantle piece for everyone to see

She've put him on the mantle piece for everyone to see

She've put him on the mantle piece for everyone to see

And he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


Listen to my story it's for everyone to hear

Listen to my story it's for everyone to hear

Listen to my story it's for everyone to hear

'Cause he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more


Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die

But he ain't gonna jump no more
