[Chorus]
Marching off to war
Babe I'm coming back
Marching off to war
Heel pack on my back

[Verse 1]
She kissed me at the door yeah
She said she'd wait three years even more
She threw her arms around me
And that made my life worth living for

[Chorus]
But I've got to march on off to war
Babe I'm coming back
Marching off to war
Heel pack on my back

[Verse 2]
Standing at the station
Troops waiting in line
Wives, sweethearts, and babies
Standing there waving and cryin' bye-bye yeah

Hut-two-three-four!
[Chorus]
Marching off to war
Babe I'm coming back
Marching off to war
Heel pack on my back

[Reprise]
Standing at the station
Troops waiting in line
Wives, sweethearts, and babies
Standing there waving and cryin' bye-bye

[Outro]
But I've got to march on off to war
I'm just marching off to war
Oh, marching off to war
I'm just marching off to war (Yes I am!)
Marching off to war
I'm just marching off to war
Got my rifle in my hand!
But I'll be coming back
I said I'm going where the action is
I'm just marching off to war
I got my pack on my back!
I said I'm marching off to war
But I'll be coming back some day yeah
I'm just marching off to war
I said I'm marching off to war
I got my rifle in my hand!
But I'll be coming back some day yeah
