Ridgway Stan The Big Heat Camouflage I was a pfc on a search patrol huntin' charlie down. It was in the jungle wars of '65. My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and alone. And I could hear the enemy ovin' in close outside. Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun, and I dug in scared while I counted down my fate. And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes, appeared there at my shoulder and said wait. When he came in close beside me he said, "don't worry son, I'm here....if charlie wants to tangle now he'll have two to dodge." I said,"well, thanks a lot," I told him my name and asked him his and he said,"the boys just call me Camouflage." Whoa Camouflage, things are never quiet the way they seems. Whoa Camouflage, I was awfully glad to see this big marine. Well, I was gonna ask him where he came from when we heard the bullets fly- comin' through the brush and all around our ears. And then I saw that big marine light a fire in his eye, and it was strange but but suddenly I forgot my fears... Whoa Camouflage, things are never quiet the way they seems. Whoa Camouflage, I was awfully glad to see this big marine. We fought all night and side by side we took our battle stance. And I wondered how the bullets miss this man. 'Cause they seemed to go right through him just as if he wasn't there-and in the mornin' we both took a chance an ran. And it was near the river bank when the ambush came on top of us, and I'd thought it was the end we were had. Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush and that big marine he just swat it with his hand. Whoa Camouflage, things are never quiet the way they seems. Whoa Camouflage, I was awfully glad to see this big marine.(And I knew there was something weird about him ...'cause when I turned around he was pullin' a big palm tree right up out of the ground... and swattin' those charlies with it from here to kingdom come). When he led me out of danger, I saw my camp and w gone. And when I got back to my hq, I told 'em about my night, and the battle I spend with a big marine named Camouflage. When I said his name a soldier gulped and a medic took my arm and led me to a green tent on the right. He said, "you may be tellin' true boy, but this here is Camouflage, and he's been right here since he passed away last night." "But before he went he said `semper fi` and said his only wish was to save a young marine caught in a barrage. So here, take his dog tag son, I know he'd want you to have it now," and we both said a prayer for a big marine named Camouflage. Whoa Camouflage, things are never quiet the way they seems. Whoa Camouflage, I was awfully glad to see this big marine. So next time you're in a jungle fight, and feel a presence near, or hear a voice that in your mind will lodge just be thankful that you're not alone and you've got some company from a big marine the boys call Camouflage. |
