Good whistling! You should re-post your lyrics here so we can follow along smile
The Son of a Green Beret(lyrics)

This was written with the idea of being a follow up to the Barry Saddler song Green Beret. As you may remember, in that song, the Green Beret had left his wife a letter asking her to make his son a Green Beret. Well, here is my take to the son growing up.

(v)

I was sitting at

My desk today

When a little boy

Turned and walked my way

(v)

Oh he was such

A sight to see

As he stood where he was

And saluted me

(c)

He was all dressed up

In his father's best

With his wings of silver

Pinned upon his chest

And on his head

His father's beret

For today he was crowned the son

Of a Green Beret

(v)

I asked him what

May I do for you

As his tears filled-up

His baby blues

(v)

That's when he quietly

Gave to me

A tear stained letter

For me to read

(c)

He was all dressed up

In his father's best

With his wings of silver

Pinned upon his chest

And on his head

His father's beret

For today he was crowned the son

Of a Green Beret

(v)

My daddy's gone

Sir but you see

His last request

Was that I would be

(v)

A Green Beret

Who would stand the test

And sir I'll try

And do my best

(c)

He was all dressed up

In his father's best

With his wings of silver

Pinned upon his chest

And on his head

His father's beret

For today he was crowned the son

Of a Green Beret
