I wanna be in the cavalry, they send me off to war
I wanna go and sit under me like my forefathers before
Courageous at first we took the worst [Gm] oppositions we held stout
[Eb] We clung [Bb] to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted [F] leaders' mouths
[Bb] Overwhelming odds and a hopeless [Eb] cause and our cities [Gm] overrun
[Eb] That were them [Bb] that said we was badly led and caught were we outgunned
I lost count of the worthy mounts that from [Gm] under me were cut
[Eb] My [Bb] favourite mare with her head in the air took a cannon [F] in her gut
[Bb] And the first two weeks on that bloody [Eb] creek my brother [Gm] lost his arm
[Eb] Was only sixty [Bb] days till all we prayed was to get us home unharmed
Oh for the day that we signed our names and the well [Gm] that we were wished
[Eb] The men's [Bb] congrats and the bats on the backs and the ladies [F] that we kissed
[Bb] The band that played and the grand [Eb] parade and the [Gm] patriotic shouts
[Eb] All faded fast [Bb] and even last till the uniforms wore out
And there were none to replace nor to help us face the [Gm] winter's cold and bleak
[Eb] That chilled [Bb] to the bone, the pneumonia-prone and pros [F] are bootless feet
[Bb] Then the tri-voided gallus fever had [Eb] fetched a beyond [Gm] disentery
[Eb] That proven the end [Bb] to have killed more men than the vilest enemy
We were finally forced to feed on horse and [Gm] carcass so we could scrounge
When the [Bb] wagons stopped and we'd burnt their crops to tarred and [F] barren ground
With morale in doubt [C] and our pride run out no honour [Bb] did I see
[F] All I [Bb] seen were a thousand dreams piled out in front of me
I wanna be in the [Eb] cavalry if they send [Gm] me off to [Eb] war
I wanna be [Bb] in the cavalry but I won't ride home no more
I wanna go and sit under me like my forefathers before
Courageous at first we took the worst [Gm] oppositions we held stout
[Eb] We clung [Bb] to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted [F] leaders' mouths
[Bb] Overwhelming odds and a hopeless [Eb] cause and our cities [Gm] overrun
