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 cavalry if they me off to war
I good steed under me like my forefathers before

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

I count of the worthy mounts that from under me were cut
My favourite mare with her head in the air took the in her gut
In the first two weeks on that bloody my brother lost his arm
Was only sixty days 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 and the pats on the backs and the ladies that we kissed
The band that played and the grande parade and the shouts
All fast, didn't even last till the uniforms wore out

And there were none to replace nor to help us face the 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 in the end to have killed more men than the vilest enemy

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

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