Jody Call - August 1965

Army Basic Training, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri Other names known as, - Little Korea - Fort Lost in the Woods - Fort Misery As our platoon marched here and there, Singing Jody Calls became part of daily life. Verses of one that I remember: Around the block she pushed the baby carriage, She pushed it in the springtime and in the month of May. And when I asked her, why the hell she pushed it. She pushed it for her trainee who was far, far away. Chorus: Far away, far away, she pushed it for her trainee, Who was far, far away. Behind the door her daddy kept a shotgun, He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May, And when I asked him, why the hell he kept it. He kept it for her trainee who was far, far away. Chorus: Far away, far away, he kept it for her trainee, Who was far, far away.
