[00:04.50]He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.
[00:10.00]He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight.
[00:14.00]He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
[00:19.00]You ain't gonna jump no more.
[00:23.00]Chorus:
[00:24.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[00:29.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[00:33.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[00:37.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[00:46.50]\"Is everybody happy?\" cried the sergeant looking up.
[00:51.00]Our hero feebly answered, \"Yes\", and then they stood him up.
[00:56.00]He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked.
[01:00.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[01:03.00]Chorus:
[01:04.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:10.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:14.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:18.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[01:28.00]He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.
[01:31.00]He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.
[01:37.00]The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
[01:41.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[01:45.50]Chorus:
[01:46.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:50.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:55.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[01:59.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[02:08.00]The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome.
[02:13.00]Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones.
[02:18.00]The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.
[02:22.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[01:26.50]Chorus:
[02:27.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[02:31.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[02:36.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[02:40.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[02:49.00]The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.
[02:53.00]He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.
[02:58.00]He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find.
[03:02.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[03:06.50]Chorus:
[03:07.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[03:11.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[03:16.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[03:20.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[03:30.00]The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
[03:34.00]The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled.
[03:39.00]For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed.
[03:43.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[03:47.50]Chorus:
[03:48.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[03:52.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[03:57.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[04:01.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[04:09.50]He hit the ground, the sound was \"Splat,\" his blood went spurting high.
[04:15.00]His comrades they were heard to say, \"A helluva way to die.\"
[04:19.00]He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.
[04:23.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[04:27.50]Chorus:
[04:28.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[04:33.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[04:37.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[04:42.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
[04:48.00]There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute.
[04:58.00]Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
[05:07.00]He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.
[05:14.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more.
[05:22.50]Chorus:
[05:23.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[05:29.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[05:36.00]Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
[05:42.00]He ain't gonna jump no more.
