I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
I wanna good state under me like my forefathers before
And I wanna good mount when a bugle sounds and I hear the cannons roar
I wanna be in the cavalry if I must go off to war
I want a horse and a volunteer force [Ab] that's riding forth [Eb] at dawn
Please save [N] for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone
And I beg of you, sirs, let me lead the charge when the battle lines have [Ab] drawn
And let me at least leave a good hoof beat that I'll remember loud and long
I ain't not a good foot soldier mate, I'd be sour and slow at march
And I'd be sick on a [N] navy ship and the sea would leave me parched
But I'll be first in line if you let me ride, by God you'll see my [Gm] starch
Low back on the heath of the laurel wreath underneath that victory arch
I wanna be in the cavalry [Ab] if they send me off to war
I wanna [Bb] good state under me like my [D] forefathers before
[Gb] And I wanna good mount when a [Ab] bugle sounds and I hear the cannons roar
I wanna be in [F] the cavalry if I must go [N] off to war
Let me earn my spurs and the battles blur when the day is lost or won
And I wield my lancers, the ponies dance and the black eyes fire their guns
And a sabre keyed and a saddle carved bean and an army ramming [Fm] tun
With the heart-led [E] screams and the cold, cold steel, let me [Ab] be a cavalryman
I [Gb] wanna be [G] in the cavalry if [Ab] they send me off to war
I wanna good state [Gb] under me like my forefathers [N] before
And I wanna good mount when a bugle sounds and I hear the cannons roar
[Cm] I wanna be in [Bb] the cavalry if I must go [G] off to [Ab] war
Let them [N] play their flutes and stir up my boots and place them back to front
For I won't be back on a riderless black and I'm finished in my hunt
I wanna be in the [C] cavalry if they send me off to [Gm] war
[Abm] I wanna be in the cavalry but [G] I won't ride home no more
