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

lyrics by Corb Lund, 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 clung to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted mouths
odds and a hopeless cause and our cities overrun
There were them that said we was led and God were we outgunned

I lost count of the worthy mounts 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 days till 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 ladies that we
The band that played and the parade and the patriotic shouts
All fast, didn't even last till the uniforms wore out

And there were to replace nor to help us face the winters cold and bleak
That to the bone the pneumonia prone and froze our bootless feet
Then the typhoid hit with its fevered fits, TB and
That proved in the end to have killed more men the vilest enemy

We were finally to feed on horse and carcass we could scrounge
When the wagons stopped and wed burnt their crops to charred and barren
With morale in and our pride run out no honour did I see
All I were a thousand 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
