Lyrics, for anyone interested: I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war I want a good steed under me like my forefathers before And I want a good mount when the bugle sounds and I hear the cannons' roar I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war I want a horse in the volunteer force that's riding forth at dawn Please save, for me, some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone And I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long I'd not a good foot soldier make, I'd be sour and slow at march And I'd be sick on a navy ship, and the sea would leave me parched But I'll be first in line if they'll let me ride. By god, you'll see my starch Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath underneath that vict'ry arch I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war I want a good steed under me like my forefathers before And I want a good mount when the bugle sounds, and I hear the cannons' roar I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur where the day is lost or won I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance and the blackguards fire their guns And a sabre keen, and a saddle carbine and an army Remington Where the hot lead screams with the cold, cold steel let me be a cavalryman I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war I want a good steed under me like my forefathers before And I want a good mount when the bugle sounds, and I hear the cannons' roar I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war Let 'em play their flutes and stirrup my boots and place them back to front For I won't be back on the rider-less black and I'm finished in my hunt I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war I wanna be in the cavalry, but I won't ride home no more

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

[@Argentwing]

A piece of trivia that's interesting to me is that Corb Lund gave a writing credit to Stan Rogers for the tune. The original called "The Idiot" is a song of rare excellence in its own right but these lyrics give it a whole new life. Colm gave it a stunning treatment as always. :D

[@WaynettePorter]

So if you're doing "I Wanna Be in the Cavalry", does this mean you're also going to do the Reprise of it at a later date? And of course, since they're related musically, how about "The Idiot" by Stan Rogers?

[@imperialphoenix1229]

@@fallingskies8991 another cover artist by the moniker seth station made a cover of 'the idiot' by stan rogers A beautiful piece about a working man who left his home to grind away in a factory chose to do so because he wouldn't compromise his morals by living off of government wellfare. Featuring it's most iconic line "I could have stayed to take the doll, but I'm not one of those. I take nothing free and that makes me, an idiot, I suppose" This is most commonly interpreted as meaning 'some may call me an idiot for turning down money, but it goes against my morals' Seth had the bright idea to write an extra verse on top of it that essentially translated to 'yes, you are an idiot' and put up a karl marx quote on screen. You know... the guy who created the concept of socialism, an authoritarian governing system that's the basis for both communism and classical fascism. Because that's definitely the message a song about hard work in spite of the government was trying to send, that everything should be owned and controlled by the government. TLDR: he covered a very libertarian song about hard work and added literal communist propaganda to the end of it

Halfway down the trail to Hell, in a shady meadow green - Are the souls of all dead troopers camped near a good old-time canteen - And this eternal resting place is known as Fiddler's Green. Marching past, straight through to Hell, the Infantry are seen - Along with the Engineers, Artillery & Marines - For none but the shade of Cavalrymen dismount at Fiddler's Green. Though some go curving down the trail to seek a warmer scene - No trooper ever gets to Hell 'till he's emptied his canteen - And so rides back to drink again with friends at Fiddler's Green. And so, when Man & Horse go down beneath a saber keen - Or in roaring charge of fierce melee, you stop a bullet clean - And the injuns come to claim your scalp, just empty your canteen - And put your pistol to your head and go to Fiddler's Green!

"I Wanna Be In The Cavalry" is a unique entry in the realm of folk songs. It was written by Canadian singer-songwriter Corb Lund and released in 2007 on his album "Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!". The song's lyrics are a captivating mix of historical longing and gritty determination, painting a vivid picture of a man yearning for the cavalry battles of a bygone era. The song's popularity grew among both folk fans and those who simply admired its raw energy, and it quickly became one of Lund's signature tunes. Secondary Source: Grant, Kieran. "Corb Lund Wants to be in the Cavalry, so do I." The Toronto Sun. July 9, 2009.

Whats the old saying? A brave man joins the calvary, a smart man joins the artillery

[@GridironMike]

Infantry is for the strong. Artillery is for the smart. Cavalry is for the brave.

HORSE SOLDIER, HORSE SOLDIER!!!

[@AtholAnderson]

I'm a Hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman; Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo. I'm a Dragoon on a Dun, I'm a Cossak on the run; I'm a horse soldier, timeless through and through.

This. Favorite song by Corb Lund, hands down.

[@dshepard3161]

The voice of where i'm from, and the song of where i'm at, bravo as always.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

Heard this on Spotify yesterday. It's not quite as good as the original IMHO, but is now my favorite cover of the song. Looking forward to the video version tomorrow. :)

[@Firamiel]

Absolutely amazing, your voice is so powerful!! I love the whistling at the end, fits perfectly 🐎🐎🐎

[@buzztheblocker89]

Hells yeah! There's a lot of classic American country music I thought you'd sound awesome with, this being one of them! Look forward to the release!

[@evilspoons]

Hey now, Corb Lund's Canadian my dude.

[@buzztheblocker89]

@@evilspoons So is Dean Brody, Shania Twain, and several others. American country was meant to describe style vs nationality. Keith Urban's auzzie but is Nashville legend.

My first active-duty assignment in the U.S. Army was to Troop D 10th U.S. Cavalry....Also known as the Bastard Sons of The 194th....I had assignments to regular armored units afterwards....But I'll always be Cav....Bury me under the red and white! Ready And Forward! All others follow as best you can!
