[00:00.000] 作曲 : Corb Lund
[00:00.000]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[00:05.700]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[00:12.700]Courageous at first we took their worst, our positions we held stout
[00:18.205]We clung to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted leaders'mouths
[00:23.696]Overwhelming odds and a hopeless cause and our cities overrun
[00:29.199]There were them that said we was badly led and called we were outgunned
[00:36.952]l lost count of the worthy mounts that from under me were cut
[00:41.945]My favourite mare with her head in the air took the cannons in her gut
[00:47.705]In the first two weeks on that bloody creek my brother lost his arm
[00:53.197]Was only sixty days till all we prayed was get us home unharmed
[01:00.451]Oh,for the day that we signed our names and the well that we were wished
[01:05.954]The men's congrats and the pats on the backs and the ladies that we kissed
[01:11.702]The band that played and the grande parade and the patriotic shouts
[01:17.194]All faded fast,didn't even last till the uniforms wore out
[01:24.449]And there were none to replace nor to help us face the winters cold and bleak
[01:29.952]That chilled to the bone the pneumonia prone and froze our bootless feet
[01:35.444]Then the typhoid hit with its fevered fits,TB and dysentery
[01:41.204]That proved in the end to have killed more men than the vilest enemy
[01:48.446]We were finally forced to feed on horse and carcass we could scrounge
[01:54.196]When the wagons stopped and we'd burnt their crops to charred and barren ground
[01:59.952]With morale in doubt and our pride run out no honour did I see
[02:05.955]All l seen were a thousand dreams piled dead in front of me
[02:13.954]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[02:19.945]l wanna be in the cavalry but I won't ride home no more
