11th Airborne Division Song

[also known as "Down From Heaven" as composed by LTC Byron Paige and arranged by SGT George Whissen (ca WWII-era)]

Down from heaven comes Eleven
And there's hell to pay below
Shout Geronimo! – Geronimo!
Hit the silk and check your canopy
And take a look around
The air is full of troopers
Set for battle on the ground
Till we join the stick of Angels
Killed on Leyte and Luzon
Shout Geronimo! – Geronimo!
It's a gory road to glory
But we're ready – here we go
Shout Geronimo! – Geronimo!

82nd Airborne Division Song

[also known as "The All-American Soldier" with lyrics by Carl Sigman, adapted by Tom Jones and Charles Koff (ca WWII-era)]

Put on your boots, boots, boots
Then your parachutes, chutes, chutes
We're going up, up, up
And then coming down, down, down.

We're All American and proud to be
For we're the soldiers of liberty.
Some ride their gliders to the enemy,
Others are sky paratroopers.

We're All American and fight we will,
'Til all the guns of the foe are still.
Airborne from skies of blue,
We're coming through – Let's Go!

Put on your boots, your parachutes,
Get those gliders ready to attack today.
For we'll be gone into the dawn,
To fight them all the 82d way – Hey!

82nd Airborne Division Song

[variation from U.S. Military Academy, West Point]

We're All American and proud to be,
For we're the soldiers of Liberty.
Some ride gliders through the enemy,
Others are sky paratroopers.
We're All American and fight we will,
Till all the guns of the foe are still.
Airborne – from skies of blue,
We're coming through –
MAKE YOUR JUMPS, TAKE YOUR BUMPS,
Let's go!

Put on your boots, your parachutes.
Get those gliders ready to attack today.
For we'll be gone Into the dawn
To fight 'em all the Eighty Second way.
Yes – Put on your boots, your parachutes.
Get those gliders ready to attack today.
For we'll be gone Into the dawn
To fight 'em all the Eighty Second way.

101st Airborne Division Song

[also known as "Screaming Eagles" by CPT Samuel R. Loboda (ca WWII-era)]

GO! You Screaming Eagles –
Dive through the sky!
Never let your strength and courage fail.
Just make your jumps
And feel your parachutes
Grab the air with a snap
As down to earth you sail.
Come on, let's GO!
You Screaming Eagles –
Fight for the right to be called
A son of the ONE-O-ONE.
So here we GO!
You know the Eagles are
Diving from the sun,
Look out for the mightiest men of Ge-ron-i-mo!
