[Verse 1]
Oh, I marched to the Battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British wars
A young land started growin'
The young blood started flowin'
But I ain't a-marchin' anymore

[Verse 2]
For I've killed my share of Injuns in a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men a-lyin'
I saw many more a-dyin'
But I ain't a-marchin' anymore

[Bridge]
It's always the old to lead us to the wars
Always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all?

[Verse 3]
For I stole California from the Mexican land
Fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes, I еven killed my brothers
And so many othеrs
But I ain't a-marchin' anymore
[Verse 4]
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all war
Oh, I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain't a-marchin' anymore

[Bridge]
It's always the old to lead us to the wars
Always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all?

[Verse 5]
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burnin'
I knew that I was learnin'
That I ain't a-marchin' anymore

[Verse 6]
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
Call it peace or call it treason
Call it love or call it reason
But I ain't a-marchin' anymore
No, I ain't a-marchin' anymore
