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 like my forefathers

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

I lost count of the worthy mounts from under me were cut
My favourite mare with her in the air took the cannons in her gut
In the first two weeks on that bloody creek my brother his arm
Was only sixty 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 and the ladies that we kissed
The band that and the grande 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 chilled to the bone the pneumonia prone and froze our feet
Then the typhoid hit with its fits, TB and dysentery
That proved in the end to have killed more men the vilest enemy

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

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