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

lyrics by Lund, music by Stan Rogers / Corb Lund

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

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

I lost count of the worthy mounts that under me were cut
My mare with her head in the air took the cannons in her gut
In the first two weeks on bloody creek my brother lost his arm
Was only sixty till all we prayed was get us home 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 and the grande parade and the patriotic shouts
All faded fast, didn't even till the uniforms wore out

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

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

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