Oh, I Gmarched to the Cbattle of DNew Orleans,

The Gyoung land started Cgrowing,

the young blood started flowing, 
but AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore 
For I've Gkilled my share of CIndians,
in a Dthousand different fights, 
I was Gthere at the CLittle Big DHorn 
I heard Gmany men Clying, I saw Ammany more Emdying, 
but AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore 
It's Amalways the Cold to Glead us to the Emwars, 
it's Amalways the Emyoung to Amfall 
Now Amlook at all we've won, with the Emsaber and the gun, 
Ctell me is it Amworth it Dall? 
For I stole CaliGfornia from the CMexican Dland,

Oh, I Gmust have killed a Cmillion men, 
and Amnow they want me Emback again, 
but AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore 
It's Amalways the Cold to Glead us to the Emwars, 
it's Amalways the Emyoung to Amfall 
Now Amlook at all we've won, with the Emsaber and the gun, 
Ctell me is it Amworth it Dall? 
For I Gflew the final Cmission in the DJapanese sky 
Set Goff the mighty Cmushroom Droar 
When I Gsaw the cities Cburning, I Amknew that I was Emlearning 
that AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore 
Now the Glabor leader's Cscreamin',
when they Dclose the missile plants 
GUnited Fruit screams Cat the Cuban Dshore, 
Call it Gpeace or call it Ctreason,
call it Amlove or call it Emreason, 
but AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore 
No, AmI ain't Cmarchin' anyDmore
