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

lyrics by Corb Lund, music by Stan Rogers / Lund

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

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

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

O for the day that we signed our and the well that we were wished
The mens congrats and the pats on the backs and the that we kissed
The band that played and the grande parade and the patriotic
All faded fast, didn't even till the uniforms wore out

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

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

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