Blackwater Men

  • by: Jeanne Lorimer
  • tune: Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay

Blackwater men are strong and tall,
Mercenaries one and all.
Earn their wages free and clear,
Shooting bullets far and near.

Chorus:
Keeping peace, keeping peace.
All for democracy.

If their bullets go astray, “What the hell,” you hear them say.
They’re here to watch over you.
Surely, you do have a clue!

Chorus.

Wages are spectacular.
Just who pays them is not “clar.”
Ten thousand dollars monthly due.
Military men: that’s not for you.

Chorus

Yes, Blackwater men are strong and tall,
Mercenaries, one and all.
Earn their wages free and clear,
Shooting bullets far and near

Chorus
