Died guys scared
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9MZ3kTPl-I"]ДДТ-Умирали пацаны - YouTube[/ame]
Died guys scared,
Died guys just,
And not everyone was on the outside of a beautiful,
And not all were tall,
But when looked at me
These dusty human eyes
Not a bird,but not for the sheep
On the human they warmed me
Chorus:
And I sang them рокнрольные songs
Say everything will be fine,
I shouted to them, that we are all together,
Yes like the sound of it is trite,
The closer to death, the cleaner the people
The farther in the rear, the fatter generals
Here I saw what could be will be
With Moscow, Ukraine, The Ural Mountains.
Eighteen years is not much
When wandering through the Tver Yes no money,
And not a little when the heart was
From the country you plastic broom
Country singing his rock'n'control songs
Says, it will all be OK
The country is screaming that we are all together,
Yes it sounds like something banal.
Died guys scared,
Died boys just
And not everyone was on the outside of beautiful,
And not all were tall...

Cossack song»
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0LV0c055g"]Игорь Ра�тер�ев. Казачь� пе�н� - Cossack song. Accordion Folk music. - YouTube[/ame]
A warm wind was flying оn the field,
walking, snooping and then
This wind flew in through the window and whispered to me about.
Very many dusky guys just tonight
as screaming by Turkic, they're coming to us so as to hack at all of us.
I'm only fifteen but I've smelt death and powder,
I cut away a human head as easy as a sunflower hat.
Don't risk fighting against these kids in a sabre battlefield,
I striked alone against twelve.
They're just appeared far away,
Their dusky leader has animal grin.
What do you forget on the river
That named the Free Medveditsa!
You must cover yourself in the battlefield
By my own child's perception
I'm singing to you in Russian,
But I can sing in Turkish if you want!
Come closer, guys, let's go!
I'm wholly openhearted as though bare.
My lance is my round loaf.
Who has gaped -- that will be dead at once!
Hurra-hurra-hurra-hurra -- kor!
I'm hearing Turkish screaming.
Now that braggart will be
striked down in his head by my steel sabre!

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see this song.. Maybe finally, I can be at peace.. My father would get in the car, and the longer the drive, would start to sing THIS, and we all joined in later, and it WAS EAT A KRAUT, NOT THIS RAW MEAT, so to see the proof makes me happy.. He was in Anzio, and he was from Oklahoma.. but he would say after it was through another verse... KEEP ME IN THE 3RD DIVISION, BUT SHIP ME TO THE USA!!!

Listening to some of the clips it would appear to have been modified several times, the original 1942 version was the one you knew...
I Wouldn't Give A Bean / To Be A Fancy Pants Marine, / I'd rather Be A Dogface Soldier Like I Am. / I Wouldn't Trade My Old O.D.'s / For All The Navy's Dungarees / For I'm The Walking Pride Of Uncle Sam; / On All The Posters That I Read / It Says The Army Builds Men / So They're Tearing Me Down To Build Me Over Again / I'm Just A Dogface Soldier / With A Rifle On My Shoulder / And I Eat A Kraut For Breakfast Everyday. / So Feed Me Ammunition, / Keep Me In The 3rd Division, / Your Dogfaced Soldier Boy's Okay.
Then after WW2 around the time of the Korean war it was changed (probably because there were no "krauts", to:
"And I am ready for whatever comes my way"
In 1980 it was changed again to include the raw meat line and it dropped the gender specific elements.
From the limited information I have managed to find...
Cpl. Bert Gold and Lt. Ken Hart, both of Long Beach, New York, co-wrote "Dogface Soldier" in 1942. They wrote the song about common soldiers and when it came to the attention of then 3rd Infantry Division Commander Maj. Gen. Lucian K. Truscott, he had it adopted as the division's song. The song was immensely popular with the 3rd Division soldiers – they sang it, marched to it and danced to it.
"Dogface Soldier" made its public debut in the 1955 Audie Murphy film "To Hell and Back". With over 300,000 copies sold. The song is the most-publicized and well-known song from the war.
