And that’s the re... I Left My Home | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) The US Military has a long-standing, respected tradition of marching in cadence, aka: with call-and-response "Jody calls." Through all branches of the military, this staple of training is known to keep troops "in step," or marching/running perfectly in sync. In addition, it is common knowledge: there is nothing more motivating on a long ruck or run, than the voice of a soulful NCO (non-commissioned officer) calling a Jodie. "I Left My Home" has gone viral more than once - First catching the attention of the civilian world in 2021, when Drill Sergeant DePalo was filmed marching a basic training platoon to the cadence. Funny enough, this all happened while I was still in Basic Training - It was a strange feeling, coming home to my civilian family who evidently learned the same new song I did. Some of my now good friends, MJ Hanks, The Marine Rapper, and Topher also remixed the cadence, topping the Billboard charts and making history. Once I saw what recorded cadence did both for the veteran community and the "outside world," I made it a mission to record them. My studio recording of this cadence has gone insanely viral, with hundreds of millions of views across social media. A fellow Soldier, Chelse Hill and I even teamed up to make a rock remix in honor of one of our fallen. That song has garnered millions of views/streams and has made our hero's name, SFC Ricardo Young, well known for his bravery and sacrifice. Since all this craziness, all the recorded cadences have served as a source of motivation, and a reminder of the "good old days" to many veterans, and I'm thankful to have been able to provide this resource. Military schools are now pointing people in the direction of my albums to learn cadences, and through the social media side of things, we have been able to, as a community, use my platform to raise funds for various veteran-focused nonprofits. I can't thank you enough! All that being said, here are the lyrics to "I Left My Home" (Army Cadence): Lyrics Lyrics Your daddy was home when you left Your momma was home when you left Your sister was home when you left Your brother was home when you left The dog was home when you left The cat was home when you left The fish was home when you left Your daddy, your momma, your sister, your brother The dog, the cat, the fish was home when you left And that’s the reason you left I left my home To join the army I left my home (I left my home) To join the army (to join the army) Related Products New Cadence Merch Quick View “I Left My Home" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Signed Copies Quick View Cadences Vol. 1, 2, 3, & 4 Bundle (CDs) - AUTOGRAPHED Regular Price $64.99 Sale Price $59.99 The day I left (the day I left) My momma cried She thought that I Would surely die I left my wife Standing at the door She knew that I Would die at war I left my son Playing in the yard Seeing Daddy leave Made him cry so hard The day I left I shook my daddy’s hand He said that I Had become a man OO-WEE, OO-WEE OO-WEE, OO-WEE OO-WEE, OO-WEE To join the army Listen to this cadence: Song Name: I Left My Home Album Name: Cadences Volume 1 by Jonathan Michael Fleming DISCLAIMERS: The lyrics and music to the above cadence are not original to me.

Discover the story of military cadences, born from PVT Willie Lee Duckworth's WWII song "Sound Off." Explore how this morale-boosting tradition has shaped U.S. military culture and inspired generations. Jonathan Michael Fleming has recorded more than 50 US military cadences. How We Got Here The Full Story Cadences originated with PVT Willie Lee Duckworth during WWII. His story has turned to legend and is still alive in the US military today. Duckworth, a black Soldier and a descendent of freed American slaves, took the call-and-response style of "work songs" and wrote his famous tune, "Sound Off." This new-found method of morale-building would quickly spread across the Army, and make its mark in its history. Hundreds of cadences have since been written and taken root in US military culture. Segregated Troops marching while they sing in formation. Photo courtesy U.S. Army Documenting History I did BCT (Basic Combat Training) in 2021, where I was first introduced to the idea of cadences. A musician myself, the idea of a military unit using music to motivate troops, or simply get them through a run was fascinating to me. However, I only called cadence once in BCT - and that was after our graduation. Fast forward to MOS school, AIT (Advanced Individual Training). We marched many miles across several weeks, and I wore my voice out calling cadence. There was nothing like it. However, we quickly began to turn into the local radio station nobody wants to hear, due to their incredible ability to play the same songs on loop 24/7. We were running out of material. I turned to YouTube, like every good Gen-Z soldier, and was amazed at how little I found. Remember, this was before military cadences went viral, accruing hundreds of millions of views across the military and civilian community. At this time, there was very little to be found by way of recordings, and sometimes you couldn't even find lyrics to the jodies we'd marched to for decades. You truly had to have been there to understand the tradition. I made the decision that day, that when I returned home, I would record these cadences and share them with my family. Veteran's Day came around, and upon hearing a chilling speech by one of my NCOs, I spent some time reflecting on the time-honored traditions I was adhering to. I also began thinking about how many souls had worn the uniform before me, and how many will make the sacrifices necessary for me to continue living the life of opportunity I've been afforded in this great nation. Inspired by an old cadence my buddy found called "Down in the Battlefield," I pulled out my notepad, and in 5 short minutes I wrote the cadence, "Fallen Soldiers." This cadence took the world by storm, and quickly brought me comments, messages, emails, and letters from service members and veterans asking me to record other cadences. This is when it all came together for me: I can be a resource for service members, military schools, and veterans. All of those things are amazing, and I'm honored to be a part of our history - but that was only the beginning. Since the release of Fallen Soldiers, I've recorded, by request of present and former military personnel, 50 military cadences/jodies. My hope and prayer is that these songs surface memories for service members, remind them of their "day zero" motivation, and bring back their fire. Through a fast-expanding social media presence, we have been able to use these songs to bring awareness and raise money for veteran-focused nonprofits, and I believe that God has a bright future in store for the direction of this mission. My continued prayer is that you, whoever is reading this, is inspired by something you see. If that is all I accomplish, then I will be proud to have been a part of your story in that way.

Down by the river We took a little walk Ran into the enemy Had a little talk Down By The River | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) Call-and-response cadences, known as "Jodies," play a vital role in the U.S. Military, providing a steady rhythm to keep troops in sync, boost morale, and reinforce unity during marches and runs. These cadences hold a rich and significant place in military tradition . Down by the River is a traditional military cadence which plays on the age-old tradition of crap-talk. These lyrics describe a fictional encounter where Soldiers confront an enemy by the river resulting in a stand-off. This fight ends with the enemy being thrown into the river. The word “enemy” has often been swapped for words like “commie,” “China,” or even the names of competing Platoons or branches, all for the purpose of building comradery and fueling Soldiers’ competitive spirits. Lyrics Down by the river We took a little walk Ran into the enemy Had a little talk We didn’t like their attitude Didn’t like the way they walk So we pushed ‘em (Hey!), we kicked ‘em (Hey!) We threw ‘em in the river (We pushed ‘em, we kicked ‘em, we threw ‘em in the river) Laughed as they drowned We don’t need no enemies Hangin’, hangin’, hangin’ around (Hey, don’t be a fool) (Sombody said we were #2) (They lied!) (We’re #1!) (Army!)

With a tempo of 120 BPM or 180 BPM on runs, cadences offer a steady, predictable pace. This pace not only helps to reinforce unit cohesion and morale, but also has the very practical applications of keeping troops "in-step" with one another and keeping their breathing regulated and steady. Over the years, cadences have adapted to adopt a startling and occasionally controversial tone. The aggressive nature of certain cadences has been utilized to mentally equip new trainees for the harsh realities of their roles. Other cadences, however tend to focus on the humorous portions of military-life. This Jody, "My Way or the Highway" tells the story of a very motivated recruit being reminded of his rank.

Mama, Mama Can't You See | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) The US Military has a long-standing, respected tradition of marching in cadence, aka: with call-and-response "Jody calls." Through all branches of the military, this staple of training is known to keep troops "in step," or marching/running perfectly in sync. In addition, it is common knowledge: there is nothing more motivating on a long ruck or run, than the voice of a soulful NCO (non-commissioned officer) calling a Jodie. While this cadence, "Mama Mama Can't You See" takes many different forms, it is best known within the Army as an eerie, dark marching cadence. This jody call tells the story of a soldier who was forever changed by his experiences. The lyrics below are pretty basic, but each unit, or cadence caller for that matter put their own spin on the cadence to tell their own stories: many times including combat, pain, loss, etc. Here it is: "Mama, Mama, Can't You See Lyrics Lyrics Mama, mama, can’t you see What the army’s done to me Mama, mama, can’t you see What the army’s done to me Put me on a silver jet That’s a ride I won’t forget Put me on a silver jet That’s a ride I won’t forget Whoa-oh Whoa-oh yeah Oh Lord, I wanna go But they won’t let me go…Home Whoa-oh yeah Put me in a barber’s chair Spun me ‘round, I had no hair Set me in a barber’s chair Spun me ‘round, I had no hair Related Products Quick View JMF "Dad Hat" - Camo Pattern with JMF USA Flag Patch Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View "1776 Problems" - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 Signed Copies Quick View Cadences Vol. 1, 2, 3, & 4 Bundle (CDs) - AUTOGRAPHED Regular Price $64.99 Sale Price $59.99 New Patriotic Merch Quick View "1776 Problems" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Fallen Soldiers Merch Quick View Fallen Soldiers - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 Quick View "Keep Marching" - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $27.49 Quick View "Fallen Soldiers" Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Gun/Bear Merch Quick View Right to "Bear" Arms - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Whoa-oh Whoa-oh, yeah Oh Lord, I wanna go But they won’t let me go…Home Whoa-oh, yeah I used to date a beauty queen Now I date my M-16 I sued to date a beauty queen Now I date my M-16 Whoa-oh Whoa-oh, yeah Oh Lord, I wanna go But they, won’t let me go…home Whoa-oh, yeah Mama, mama, can’t you see What the army’s done to me Mama, mama, can’t you see What the army’s done to me Listen to this cadence: Song Name: Mama, Mama Can't You See Album Name: Cadences Volume 1 by Jonathan Michael Fleming DISCLAIMERS: The lyrics and music to the above cadence are not original to me.

I saw the Taliban dressed in black That’s my e-tool in his back I was the one he did not see U.S. Army Infantry Woah-ooo-oh, Woah Woah-ooo-oh, Woah-oh, yeah I Saw the Taliban | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) The US Military has a rich tradition of call-and-response songs during marching, rucking, and running, a familiar sound for many. This practice began with Private Willie Lee Duckworth in 1944, leading to the creation of "Jodies," "Jody calls," or "cadences," which are now deeply rooted in military culture. While some of these cadences have a controversial tone, often referencing violence and borderline war crimes, they serve to toughen the minds of young soldiers who have yet to face the realities of combat. This cadence, "I Saw the Taliban," adapts with each new generation of troops. What began as "I saw the Taliban" has transformed into "I saw ISIS," and will keep evolving based on the current enemy. The cadence is popular for its shocking nature, as it describes all of the creative ways Soldiers picture themselves ending the Taliban fighter. The first time I heard it, I thought I was ready for war. Lyrics I saw the Taliban dressed in brown It’s me who shot him to the ground I was the one he did not hear U.S. Army Engineer Woah-ooo-oh, Woah Woah-ooo-oh, Woah-oh, yeah I saw the Taliban dressed in white Now he’s got me in his sight He was the one I did not see U.S. Army infantry Woah-ooo-oh, Woah Woah-ooo-oh, Woah-oh, yeah I saw the Taliban dressed in black That’s my e-tool in his back I was the one he did not see U.S. Army Infantry Woah-ooo-oh, Woah Woah-ooo-oh, Woah-oh, yeah I saw the Taliban dressed in red That’s my bullet in his head I was the one he did not hear U.S. Army Engineer Woah-ooo-oh, Woah Woah-ooo-oh, Woah-oh, yeah Related Products Signed Copies Quick View Cadences Vol. 1, 2, 3, & 4 Bundle (CDs) - AUTOGRAPHED Regular Price $64.99 Sale Price $59.99 New Patriotic Merch Quick View "1776 Problems" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View "1776 Problems" - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 New Granny Merch Quick View "When My Granny Was 91" - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View "When My Granny Was 91" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Fallen Soldiers Merch Quick View Fallen Soldiers - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 Quick View "Fallen Soldiers" Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View JMF "Dad Hat" - Camo Pattern with JMF USA Flag Patch Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View "When I Was 1" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View “What a Way to Die" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Gun/Bear Merch Quick View Right to "Bear" Arms - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 New Gun/Bear Merch Quick View Right to "Bear" Arms - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View “I Left My Home" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View "Sound Off" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View "Keep Marching" - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $27.49 New Merch Quick View "Stars Spangled and Enemies Mangled" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Listen to this cadence: Song Name: I Saw the Taliban Album Name: Cadences Volume 2 by Jonathan Michael Fleming DISCLAIMERS: The lyrics and music to the above cadence are not original to me.

My girl’s a vegetable She lives in a hospital And I would do anything To keep her alive My girl’s got no arms or legs Killing the Baby Seals | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) The U.S. Military’s "Jodies" are more than chants—they create rhythm, build unity, and strengthen morale, reflecting the teamwork and tradition at the heart of military life . Killing the Baby Seals reflects a blend of rhythm, satire, and exaggerated storytelling to entertain service members while maintaining synchronized movement. The lyrics tell a fictional tale of a Soldier who resorts to hunting baby seals as his livelihood. The chant incorporates vivid imagery and humor that might be seen as dark or absurd (aka perfect for the military).

I’m a steam roller baby And I’m rolling down the line I’m a steam roller baby And I’m rolling down the line So you better get out of my way now Before I roll all over you I’m a jackhammer baby And I’m hammering down the line I’m a jackhammer baby And I’m hammering down the line So you better get out of my way now Before I hammer all over you Before I roll... Steam Roller (Army Version) | Military Cadence (Lyrics & History) (Skip to lyrics) Adding cadence to your workout routine can bring a different level of motivation and discipline. This "work song" style, also referred to as "Jody calls," has been a long-standing tradition in the US Military. These call-and-response style chants help troops march and run "in-step," or in sync, with each cadence set at a precise 120 BPM for marching and 180 BPM for running. The soulful voice of a troop leading these cadences during long rucks or runs is sometimes exactly the pick-me-up you need. The Steam Roller cadence is a staple in the Army community. The cadence has gone viral several times, both on my account and others where NCOs called their heart out and even picked up remixes from civilian artists. Here it is: "Steam Roller (Army Version) Lyrics I’m a steam roller baby And I’m rolling down the line I’m a steam roller baby And I’m rolling down the line So you better get out of my way now Before I roll all over you I’m a jackhammer baby And I’m hammering down the line I’m a jackhammer baby And I’m hammering down the line So you better get out of my way now Before I hammer all over you Before I roll all over you Related Products Signed Copies Quick View Cadences Vol. 1, 2, 3, & 4 Bundle (CDs) - AUTOGRAPHED Regular Price $64.99 Sale Price $59.99 Quick View "Fallen Soldiers" Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View JMF "Dad Hat" - Camo Pattern with JMF USA Flag Patch Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Fallen Soldiers Merch Quick View Fallen Soldiers - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 Quick View Cadences Volume 1 (CD) Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $24.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View "When My Granny Was 91" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Gun/Bear Merch Quick View Right to "Bear" Arms - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View “I Left My Home" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 Quick View "Keep Marching" - Blended T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $27.49 Quick View Cadences Volume 4 (CD) Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $24.99 New Patriotic Merch Quick View "1776 Problems" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Cadence Merch Quick View “What a Way to Die" - Soft Blend Cotton T-Shirt - JMF Regular Price $34.99 Sale Price $29.99 New Gun/Bear Merch Quick View Right to "Bear" Arms - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 New Granny Merch Quick View "When My Granny Was 91" - JMF Hooded Sweatshirt Regular Price $59.99 Sale Price $54.99 Quick View Cadences Volume 2 (CD) Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $24.99 Quick View Cadences Volume 3 (CD) Regular Price $29.99 Sale Price $24.99 I’m a dump truck baby And I’m dumping down the line I’m a dump truck baby And I’m dumping down the line So you better get out of my way now Before I dump all over you Before I hammer all over you Before I roll all over you Before I break your heart in two It takes a little, a little, a little rock and roll It’s the kind that, the kind that, the kind that soothes your soul ‘Cause I’m a jackhammer baby I’m a steam roller baby I’m a heartbreaker baby And Imma roll all over you Listen to this cadence: Song Name: Steam Roller (Army Version) Album Name: Cadences Volume 1 by Jonathan Michael Fleming DISCLAIMERS: The lyrics and music to the above cadence are not original to me.
