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 steed under me like my forefathers before

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

I lost count of the worthy mounts that from under me cut
My favourite mare with her head in the air took the 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 names and the well that we were
The mens congrats and the on the backs and the ladies that we kissed
The band that and the grande parade and the patriotic shouts
All faded fast, didn't even last till the wore out

And there were none to replace nor to help us face the winters and bleak
That chilled to the 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 more men than the vilest enemy

We were finally forced to feed on horse and we could scrounge
When the stopped and wed burnt their crops to charred and barren ground
morale in doubt 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
