Battle Hymn of the Red River Rats
The Red River Rats meet again
Telling tales, remembering when
Battles joined in the skies
Shed our blood, gave our lives
The Red River Rats meet again
War is never a beautiful thing
But we fought for the right on the wing
Dropping bombs, dodging flak
Fighting MiGs, well be back
Shout the Rats battle cry, let it ring
Sing the Red River Rats Battle Hymn
Hold your head high, stand tall, you are men
Never run from a fight
Be prepared day and night
Sing the Red River Rats Battle Hymn
Look around, there's a few empty chairs
Honored comrades should be sitting there
