Anyone know the lyrics to an old skydiving song which might be called "I'm going in."? Seem to recall that the protagonist went tracking across the country and kept going until he went in.

I always assumed it was a classic but I haven't been able to find the lyrics. It wasn't in the one long skydiving songs thread (#974560).

I have the lyryics and will post them here for you if you like.
An even better song he pened was Skydiving Sally all about a love struck student and his female jumpmaster.
All sorts of referances to capell bruises, silly suits and Addias boots. All the oldtimers (like Me) could relate to.
Best line is Makes me wanna blow my AOD!!

How's this

SKYDIVING SALLY


SKYDIVING SALLY CAN'T YOU TELL,

YOU POP THE BUNGEES TO MY BRAIN,

YOU CAUSE A TOTAL MAL IN MY NERVE CANAL,

AND I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

NO USE A WASTING TIME CONTEMPLATING,

WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR CHARMS.

BUT IF I EVER GET OFF OF THIS STATIC LINE,

I'M GOING TO FREE FALL IN TO YOUR ARMS.



FIRST TIME I MET YOU, I COULDN'T QUITE FORGET YOU,

CAUSE YOU REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE.

IN YOUR ADIDAS BOOTS AND YOUR SILLY SUIT,

LOOKING LIKE AN ANGEL IN THE DISGUISE.

I WAS A FIRST JUMP STUDENT, LORD YOU KNOW I COULDN'T,

THINK STRAIGHT FROM THE START.

AND WHEN YOU TIGHTENED UP THE STRAP T MY STUDENT PACK,

YOU PULLED THE RIPCORD TO MY HEART.


SKYDIVING SALLY, CAN'T YOU TELL,

YOU GOT ME BLIND DUMB AND DEAF,

AND WHEN YOU KISS ME GENTLY ON MY RISER BURNS,

IT MAKES MY HEART DO A P.L.F.

NO USE A WASTING TIME CONTEMPLATING,

WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR CHARMS.

BUT IF I EVER GET OFF OF THIS STATIC LINE,

I'M GOING TO FREE FALL IN TO YOUR ARMS.





GLAD YOUR MY BABY, OH YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY,

YOUR AS PRETTY AS A STRATO STAR,

AND WHEN YOU STOMP THAT DISK YOU CAN BET ON THIS,

I LOVE YOU BETTER THEN MY OLD GUITAR.

I CAN SEE IT COMING, GOT TO STOP MY RUNNING,

AND SETTLE DOWN WHILE I CAN.

AND YOU'LL SEE SALLY AND ME AND A WUFFO OR THREE,

AT THE D.Z. IN MY CHEVY VAN.


SKYDIVING SALLY, CAN'T YOU SEE,

THAT YOUR THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME,

AND WHEN YOU KISS ON MY CAPEWELL BRUISES,

IT MAKES ME WANT TO BLOW MY A.O.D.

NO USE A WASTING TIME CONTEMPLATING,

WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR CHARMS.

BUT IF I EVER GET OFF OF THIS STATIC LINE,

I'M GOING TO FREE FALL IN TO YOUR ARMS.

GOING IN
WELL I STARTED JUMPING FORTY YEARS AGO
WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND JUMP RATES WERE LOW

AND I RECKON I'VE DONE EVERY THING SINCE THEN.
I'VE JUMPED SILK AND TWILL AND F ONE ELEVEN,

I'VE JUMPED THROUGH HELL AND LANDED IN HEAVEN,
THEN I GOT BACK UP AND DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN.


I'VE JUMPED ROUNDS AND SQUARES THUNDERBOWS,
PARADACTYL BROKE MY NOSE,

YES INJURY IS SOMETHING I AIN'T ESCAPED

I BROKE MY ARMS THREE TIMES, BOTH LEGS FIVE,
IT'S A MIRACLE I'M STILL ALIVE,

CAUSE MY BODY'S HELD TOGETHER WITH TWO ROLLS OF RIP STOP TAPE.


NOW MY STYLE AND ACC. IS NOT THAT BAD,
I DO A CHINESE SERIES IN 14 FLAT.

AND ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO JUST BORES ME TO TEARS.
AND I'M TELLING YOU TRUE, IT AIN'T NO JOKE,

I CAN TRACK SO FAST THAT MY SNEAKERS SMOKE,
AND MY HELMET STARTS TO MELT BACK AROUND MY EARS

I REMEMBER ONE DAY BACK IN '62,
I WAS SITTING AROUND WITH NOTHING TO DO,

AND I WENT UP AND BUILT A TEN MAN WEDGE ALL BY MY SELF.

I WAS FLYING HARD TO FILL ALL THEM SLOTS,
EVEN I HAD TO ADMIT I WAS PRETTY HOT,

THEN I WENT LOW ON THE SECOND SEQUENCE, IMAGINE HOW I FELT.


IT WAS '79 IN ZEPHERHILLS, WHEN ME AND THE BOYS DECIDED TO BUILD,

THE BIGGEST CANOPY STACK MAN COULD EVER DO.

NOW I DOCKED LAST ON THAT BOTTOM SQUARE,

AND WHEN I BROKE OFF AT THE GROUND AND FLARED.

THE TOP MAN IN THAT STACK WAS STILL AT 'SEVEN TWO'



WELL I'VE DONE MOST EVERY THING YOU SEE,

AND THERE AIN'T A WHOLE LOT LEFT FOR ME,

BUT TO LEAVE WITH OUT DOING IT ALL WOULD BE QUITE A SIN.

GUESS THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE THRILL TO TRY,

GONNA FIND OUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DIE.

YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT I'M GOING IN.


I'M GOING IN, im going in, I'M GOING in, I'M going in.

GONNA SCATTER MY BRAINS ACROSS THE PLAINS,

YES I'M GOING IN.


GONNA EXIT ABBOTTSFORD AT FIFTEEN GRAND,

START A MAX TRACK EAST ACROSS THE LAND,

BY THE TIME I HIT CLARESHOLM I'LL BE NOTHING BUT A BLUR.

I'LL TOUCH DOWN WITH MY TOES IN GIMMELY,

SPREAD MY HART AROUND GANANOQUE,

LEAVE MY EYEBALLS IN THE PEAS AT WATERVILLE FOR SURE.


I'M GOING IN, im going in, I'M GOING in, I'M going in.

I'LL LEAVE MY GLUTEUS MAX IN HALIFAX,

MY LOWER JAW IN OTTAWA,

BOTH MY LEGS IN WINNIPEG,

AND HALF A MOON IN SASKATOON,

ALL MY TONGUE IN EDMONTON,

WHAT EVER'S LEFT IN VANCOUVER I GUESS,

GONNA SCATTER MY BRAINS ACROSS THE PLAINS,

YES I'M GOING IN.

Ron sarted back in the 70s about 74 I think.
I meet him around 75 at Burnaby DZ during a visit there (I was a Coldwater original) and we had many a great jam sessiion there.
He migrated to Gananoque during the 80s, as did I upon returning from Aussie in 87. More great jam sesions around the fire or in the Hangar.
His most popular song was Fat Women
I still play that one quite a bit over here in NZ and Aussie, and it is always popular to what ever crowd I play it to.
Nothing to do with jumping though.

Thanks!

One almost forgets somebody has to have actually written these songs at some point!

Ron Marshall - what was his role in Canadian skydiving?


Ron is one of the greatest people you could ever meet in or out of the sport. Gan regular back in the 80's and hung 'em up when he and Val started a family in about '89 or so.

His role is Canadian skydiving - he wrote some great songs...as you've just found out, he did one of the first tri-by-sides (first at Gananoque - with Beaker and Greg (? - can't remember the last name right now), was a good relative worked and just a ton of fun to jump with.

Ron recently retired from being a partner in a BIG Toronto law firm and is a flying instructor. He recently made a gret trip with several other people up in the Canadian Arctic.

Steve McCurley - Do you have the words to my personal favourite of Rons - "Fat Women"?

Fat women, big juicy women.....B|B|

Cheers,

Murray

THINKING ABOUT ROSE IN A SIZE FORTY PANTY HOSE, SEEMS TO MAKE ME WEAK IN THE KNEES
NOTHIN COULD BE FINER, THEN CUDDLING WITH DINA, RELAXING ON A WRINKLE AND A ROLL
I’M INTO THOSE FAT WOMEN, BIG JUICY WOMEN, THEY THRILL ME RIGHT THROUGH TO MY TOES



WELL MY FAVORITE FAT LADY SHE’S A GIRL NAMED KATIE
SHE’S A THREE HUNDRED POUNDER FROM THE SOUTH
SHE’S GOT TWELVE YARDS OF SKIN, FOURTEEN DOUBLE CHINS
SHE NEEDS A BOOKMARK TO FIND HER MOUTH
WELL SHE REALLY MAKES ME SWOON AS SHE STOMPS ACROSS THE ROOM
WIGGLING LIKE Jell-O ON A SPOON
SHE'LL BE MY FAT WOMAN, BIG JUICY WOMAN.
AND KATIE SENDS ME TO THE MOON.

CHORUS

I’M INTO THOSE FAT WOMEN, BIG JUICY WOMEN, WELL THEY'RE SUCH A FINE SIGHT TO SEE.
THINKING ABOUT ROSE IN A SIZE FORTY PANTY HOSE, SEEMS TO MAKE ME WEAK IN THE KNEES
NOTHIN COULD BE FINER, THEN CUDDLING WITH DINA, RELAXING ON A WRINKLE AND A ROLL
I’M INTO THOSE FAT WOMEN, BIG JUICY WOMEN, THEY THRILL ME RIGHT THROUGH TO MY TOES



IT’S HARD TO FIND ME A LOVER, BUT THERE’S SOMETHING BOUT BLUBBER,
THAT SENDS A SHIVER UP AND DOWN MY SPINE.
DON’T LIKE THEM LIGHT AS A FEATHER, THE HEFTIER THE BETTER, CAUSE FAT MEANS A REAL GOOD TIME.
WELL I’LL SPEND MY LIFE SEARCHING, FOR A THOUSAND POUND URCHIN.
AND WE’LL GO LURCHING THROUGH THE CHURCH IN THE SPRING
AND SHE’LL BE MY FAT WOMAN, BIG JUICY WOMAN WEARING MY HUNDRED POUND RING


CHORUS

I’M INTO THOSE FAT WOMEN, BIG JUICY WOMEN, WELL THEY'RE SUCH A FINE SIGHT TO SEE.
THINKING ABOUT ROSE IN A SIZE FORTY PANTY HOSE, SEEMS TO MAKE ME WEAK IN THE KNEES
NOTHIN COULD BE FINER, THEN CUDDLING WITH DINA, RELAXING ON A WRINKLE AND A ROLL
I’M INTO THOSE FAT WOMEN, BIG JUICY WOMEN, THEY THRILL ME RIGHT THROUGH TO MY TOES

I do have Fat women on a disk (not a very good version, the fat woman doing backing vocals really blew it):S
Don't know how to get on here. Wouldn't put it out on You tube without Ron's permision.
I once played this at a pub here in NZ and had 8 really large girls all singing in a row and dancing along to it.
