He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright,

He checked all his equipment and made sure his pack was tight,
6 6 6 6 -5 5 6 7 -8 8 8 8 -8 7
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar,
7 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7
You ain't gonna jump no more.
[Chorus]

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
7 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7
He ain't gonna jump no more!
