I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
I wanna 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
Well, I wanna horse in the volunteer force that is riding forth at dawn
Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I’m gone
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 victory arch
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
I wanna 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
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 wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds and I hear the cannons’ roar
I wanna be in the cavalry if i must go of to war
Let ‘em play their flutes and stirrup my boots and place them back to front
Cause I won’t be back on the rider-less black and I’m finished in my hunt
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
I wanna be in the cavalry, but I won’t ride home no more
Another – slower – version with a bit different lyrics:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The WWI armistice came into effect at the eleventh hour (Paris time) of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The War to End All Wars left 37,000,000 casualties – 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded. The Allies lost 5.7 million soldiers. May their souls rest in peace
