ATTENTION MARINES, I’ve been trying to get the words to a song we sang at ASP 1 DaNang 1965/66. Sung to the tune of Davy Crockett. 1st verse- born on a shelter half at Camp Lejuene eating c-rations from a plastic spoon, father was a gunny, mother was a bam that’s why I’m in the shape I am. Chesty Chesty Puller…………. Can’t remember the rest.any help with lyrics is appreciated. hyoungsr@hotmail.com. RVN 65/66/69..0311/2311
