Hej, jag grunnar lite på en marschvisa som jag inte kan fullt ut.

Första versen går:

Our sergeant major jumped from 14.000 feet
Our sergeant major jumped from 14.000 feet
Our sergeant major jumped from 14.000 feet
And he ain´t gonna jump no more,
thats for sure!

Sen så är det något om att han landade på motorvägen (freeway) och att det är ett djävla sätt att dö på...

Är det någon som kan resten av den här visan?

Som jag har hört den går den så här:

The sargent was the last to jump, the first to hit the ground
The sargent was the last to jump, the first to hit the ground
The sargent was the last to jump, the first to hit the ground
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
He jumped from 14.000 feet without a parachute
He jumped from 14.000 feet without a parachute
He jumped from 14.000 feet without a parachute
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
Glory, glory, what a helluwa way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

Det finns säkert fler verser och andra varianter men detta är vad jag har hört.

The Swede

Jag har en annan version, samt fler verser:
Jimmy was a paratrooper in the second war /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Refräng
Glory, glory what a h e ll of way to die /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Jimmy was the last to jumo. But first to hit the ground /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Ref

They scratced him from the runaway with a little silver spoon /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Ref

They put him in an envelope and sent him back to mum /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Ref

She put him on the mantlepiece for everyone to see /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Ref

He soon began to stink. So she threw him out the door /3
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Rekord i att dra upp gammal tråd? nåja, halkade in på den här av nån anledning. Det var väl en version av ovanstående visa som hördes i BoB igår!

Vill påpeka att det även finns en version där man sjunger "gorey" istället för "glory"

Nån som kan texten till melodin som spelas i Die Hard 3 när traktorerna börjar köra ner i tunnelbanan.

Rätt känd march melodi, men jag skulle gärna vilja ha texten också.

tror det är nått med "johnny marching....."

EDIT:
Finns även en snapsvisa på denna melodi som går:

En vinking vil ha livets va´nn, hurra hurra
Det hastigt i mitt svalg försvann, hurra hurra
Till fågel till fisk, till kalv till fläsk,
När kärringen bara dricka läsk,
Då vill alla sanna vinkingar ha en besk!

Och när vi druckit besken slut, tragik tragik
Då bäres varje viking ut, som lik som lik
Och när vi sedan har sovit en bit
så korka vi upp skånes akvavit
Skål för alla vikingar som kom hit!

Du tänker på "When Johnny comes marching home"...Sök på det på nätet, finns massor av versioner...

Jupp, så hette den nog. tack!

Den fanns med i min en gång så stora samling amerikanska marschsånger, som tyvärr är ganska liten nu. Så här gick den varianten som jag hade...

Glory, glory what a hell of way to die

He flew a flying fortress up to eightythousend feet (3x)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more.

Refrein: Glory, glory what a hell of way to die (3x)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

He jumped from eigtythousen feet without a parachute(3x)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

The bloke who packed the parachute forgot to fix the straps (3x)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

They scraped him from the runaway like a lump of strawberryjam (3x)


Edit:
Hittade filen, om någon e intresserad så mailar jag den!

Du får gärna skicka den till mig över ICQ om du har det, mail går väl också bra antar ja.

har hört en vers där:
"the colonel tied a knot on the sergeants parachute, and he ain't gonna jump no more..."

He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight.
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
You ain't gonna jump no more.



Chorus:
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more.

"Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up.
Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up.
He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome.
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones.
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.
He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.
He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled.
For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high.
His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die."
He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute.
Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
