Luyện nghe bài hát I Wanna Be In The Cavalry : Reprise

lyrics by Corb Lund, music by Stan / Corb Lund

I wanna be in the if they send me off to war
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers

Courageous at first we took their worst, our positions we stout
We clung to belief and we on the speech from our trusted leaders mouths
odds and a hopeless cause and our cities overrun
There were them said we was badly led and God were we outgunned

I lost count of the worthy mounts that from me were cut
My favourite mare with her head in the air the cannons in her gut
In the first two weeks on that creek my brother lost his arm
Was only sixty days till all we prayed was get us unharmed

O for the day that we signed our names and the well that we were
The mens congrats and the pats on the and the ladies that we kissed
The band that played and the grande and the patriotic shouts
All faded fast, even last till the uniforms wore out

And there were none to replace nor to us face the winters cold and bleak
That chilled to the the pneumonia prone and froze our bootless feet
Then the typhoid hit with its fits, TB and dysentery
That proved in the end to have killed more men the vilest enemy

We were finally forced to feed on horse and we could scrounge
When the wagons and wed burnt their crops to charred and barren ground
With morale in doubt and our pride run out no did I see
All I were a thousand dreams piled dead in front of me

I wanna be in the cavalry if the me off to war
I be in the cavalry but I wont ride home no more
