[00:01.76]Composed by：Corb Lund
[00:02.55]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[00:07.05]
[00:07.63]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[00:12.34]And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[00:14.98]And I hear the cannons' roar
[00:17.15]
[00:17.75]I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war
[00:22.18]
[00:22.78]I wanna horse in the volunteer force that's riding forth at dawn
[00:27.56]Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone
[00:32.54]And I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge
[00:35.08]When the battle lines are drawn
[00:37.59]And lemme at least leave a good hoof beat
[00:40.14]They'll remember loud and long
[00:42.43]
[00:43.00]I'd not a good foot soldier make
[00:45.21]I'd be sour and slow at March
[00:47.75]And I'd be sick on a navy ship
[00:50.25]And the sea would leave me parched
[00:52.72]But I'll be first in line if they'll let me ride
[00:55.27]By god you'll see my starch
[00:57.83]Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath
[01:00.36]Underneath that vict'ry arch
[01:03.17]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[01:08.12]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[01:12.93]And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[01:15.44]And I hear the cannons' roar
[01:17.67]
[01:18.35]I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war
[01:23.07]Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur
[01:25.64]Where the day is lost or won
[01:27.70]
[01:28.33]I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance
[01:30.73]And the blackguards fire their guns
[01:33.20]And a sabre keen and a saddle carbine
[01:35.78]And an army Remington
[01:38.24]Where the hot lead screams with the cold cold steel
[01:40.79]Let me be a cav'lryman
[01:43.00]
[01:43.66]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[01:48.04]
[01:48.63]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[01:53.35]And I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[01:55.91]And I hear the cannons' roar
[01:58.19]
[01:58.71]I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war
[02:03.55]Let 'em play their flutes and stirrup my boots
[02:06.07]And place them back to front
[02:08.52]For I won't be back on the rider-less black
[02:11.05]And I'm finished in my hunt
[02:13.20]
[02:13.91]I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[02:18.40]
[02:18.95]I wanna be in the cavalry but I won't ride home no more
