Currahee Song
as sung by the 1st Airborne Battle Group
to the tune of “High above the Chatahoochee on the Upatoi“

`We Stand Alone We stand alone, but stand together, Strong as the mountain Currahee. First in the fighting, Victory uniting, The vanguard of the Infantry!`

Lord help the victims of the Sky Train. Our group will never know defeat. We are the roughest, Meanest, the toughest. The 506th is hard to beat!

Normandy victors, We jumped in Zon. Held firm at Bastogne, We carried o-o-on!

We stand alone, but stand together, Go! Go! The Sky Train's on its way. Hook up, we're ready, Our aim is steady, The 506th is here today! The 506th will win the fray! The 506th is here to stay!!Click on leftmost arrow
