I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore Lyrics by Larry Kirwan, Black 47

Bleecker Street: Greenwich Village in the 60's

1999

[Verse 1]
I marched to the Battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
The young land started growing
The young blood started flowing
But I ain't marchin' anymore
[Verse 2]
I've killed my share of Indians
In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men lyin', I saw many more dyin'
But I ain't marching anymore
[Bridge]
It's always the old to lead us to the war
It's always the young to fall
Now look at what we've won with a saber and a gun
Tell me is it worth it all?
[Verse 3]
I stole California from the Mexican land
I fought in the bloody Civil War
Hey, I evеn killed my brother
So many others
But I ain't marchin' anymorе
[Verse 4]
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
Oh, I must have killed a million men
But now they want me back again
I ain't marchin' anymore
[Bridge]
It's always the rich to lead us to the war
It's always the poor to fall
Now look at what we've won with our saber and a gun
Tell me is it worth it all?
[Verse 5]
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
Set off a mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burnin' I knew that I was learnin'
That I ain't marchin' anymore (Hey!)
[Verse 6]
Now the senators are screamin' when they close the Air Force base
Fidel's still kickin' on the Cuban shore
Call it peace or call it treason
Call it love or call it reason
But I ain't marchin' anymore
No, I ain't marchin' anymore
