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

lyrics by Corb Lund, music by Stan Rogers / Corb

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

Courageous at we took their worst, our positions we held stout
We clung to belief and we hung on the 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 from under me were cut
My favourite with her head in the air took the cannons in her gut
In the two weeks on that 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 that we were wished
The mens congrats and the pats on the 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 winters cold and
That chilled to the bone the pneumonia and froze our bootless feet
Then the typhoid hit its fevered 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 could
the wagons stopped 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 seen were a thousand dreams piled in front of me

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