This time the Folk Song Of The Week is Army Life. This was requested and I have to say that it brought back memories of my childhood and Desert Storm. Both of them were good memories, but now I realize that I only keep in touch with one of my buddies from my military days. I think I am going to have to search some of the others out and see how life has treated them.

Have fun with this song and add your favorite lyrics to it because there are plenty out there.

ARMY LIFE

The [G]coffee that they give you, they [D7]said was mighty fine

Good for cuts and bruises and [G]tastes like iodine ooh

[C]I don’t want no more of [G]army life

Gee bud, I [D7]want to go [G]home

The chicken that they give you, they said was mighty fine
One rolled off the table and started marking time ooh

The biscuits that they give you, they said was mighty fine
One jumped off the table, boys, and it knocked down a pal of mine ooh

The women in the PX, they said were mighty fine
Most are over 90 and the rest are under 9 ooh

The money that they give you, they said was mighty fine
Ask for fifty dollars, boy, and they’ll take back forty-nine ooh
