[00:00.51]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
[00:02.85]If they send me off to war
[00:05.29]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[00:09.91]I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[00:12.51]And I hear the cannons' roar
[00:15.06]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
[00:17.16]If they send me off to war
[00:19.97]Well I wanna horse in the volunteer force
[00:22.17]That's riding forth at dawn
[00:24.3]Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone
[00:29.0]I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge
[00:31.72]When the battle lines are drawn
[00:34.06]Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat
[00:36.24]They'll remember loud and long
[00:39.17]I'd not a good foot soldier mate
[00:41.25]I'd be sour and slow at march
[00:43.56]And I'd be sick on a navy ship
[00:46.04]And the sea would leave me parched
[00:48.24]But I'll be first in line
[00:49.54]If they'll let me ride by god you'll see my starch
[00:53.07]Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath
[00:55.57]Underneath that vict'ry arch
[00:58.21]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
[01:00.42]If they send me off to war
[01:03.0]I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[01:07.57]I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[01:10.07]And I hear the cannons' roar
[01:12.42]I wanna be in the cavalry
[01:14.72]If they send me off to war
[01:17.13]Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur
[01:19.65]Where the day is lost or won
[01:21.94]I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance
[01:24.39]And the blackguards fire their guns
[01:26.729996]A sabre keen and a saddle carbine and an army Remington
[01:31.49]Where the hot lead screams with the cold
[01:33.58]Cold steel let me be a cavalryman
[01:55.740005]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
[01:57.91]If they send me off to war
[02:00.52]An' I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
[02:05.21]I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds
[02:07.62]And I hear the cannons' roar
[02:10.01]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
[02:12.28]If they send me off to war
[02:14.71]Let 'em play their flutes and stirrup my boots
[02:17.44]And place them back to front
[02:20.02]'Cause I won't be back on the rider-less black
[02:22.68]And I'm finished in my hunt
[02:25.59]Well I wanna be in the cavalry
