I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore (Live)

Letra
Oh, I marched to the Battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British war A young land started growing The young blood started flowing But I ain't marching anymore 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-lying, I saw many more a-dying But I ain't marching anymore It's always the old to lead us to the wars It's 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? 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 marching anymore For I marched to the battles of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh, I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain't marching anymore It's always the old to lead us to the wars It's 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? For I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies Set off the mighty mushroom roar When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning That I ain't marching anymore Now the labor leader's screaming 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 marching anymore No, I ain't marching anymore It used to be all the songwriters were left-wing types. And now, as we get toward a fascist America, which is coming in in the Seventies in a big way, uh, we, uh, we start to see a change in the right wing. The right wing usually does without artists. They usually have to rely on William Buckley and his good looks and a lot of television time to present the facade that the right wing has a mind, or a sense of art. Uh, which Buckley has, but which the right wing doesn't have. Now, uh, but just lately they've gone up with an artist, a genuine songwriter who's as good as anybody around. His name is Merle Haggard. And uh, he has the possibility of being today's Hank Williams, who is, uh, still the foremost songwriter. And, uh, so I've been accused many times in my career of being a radical and, uh, troublemaker. Which is not true, which is not true. I'm just a regular American guy like anyone else. Just like anybody in a gas station. So I'm going to sing a Merle Haggard song tonight, which I think shows the other side of America. Just in answer to all those critics. It's a song called "Okie from Muskogee."
