I love how this song fits both a Southern U.S. accent and an Irish/Scottish accent. The song was written like an old fashioned western song but at the same time, sounds so good when put into a shanty type format, like this gentleman has done.
When you think about it the majority of southerners originated mostly from those areas so the southern accent & alot of the stories & stuff evolved & mixed from there through the generations. Its amazing how much has both changed & stayed the same
Becuse the southern accent is mostly Scottish and Irish decent. They came in New York yes! But alot of Irish and Scottish went south. There's a town in south Carolina that still speaks a very rare dialect of Scottish there's only like 20 of them left.
I heard a linguistic professor say that if you want to hear the actual accent of upper class British people from the 18/1900s that the area I'm from south western NC and North Western SC is about as close as you can get. The people here are ll decended from English/Irish/Scottish along with the fact that the area was so isolated that the accent pretty much didn't change for hundreds of years. On a side note, English people doi g the southern accents in movies always seems to work very well, and southern people doing the English accent, because of the similarities.
I find it fascinating that the cavalry charge died as a concept time and time again. Longbows killed the cavalry, the advent of firearms killed cavalry charges the advent of pike-squares killed the cavalry charge, the advent of non-plug bayonets killed the cavalry charge and so did machine-guns, tanks and so on and so on. Horse cavalry might be dead now but air-born cavalry in helicopters, as well as mechanized cavalry are still real. We still have our armored knights standing on the defense or charging though the enemy line, we have our cavalry raids and our fighting dragoons. The form changes but the spirit does not.
I'm not a historian but my understanding is that the cavalry has pretty much always been good at skirmishing and exploitation (like the raid on the camp in the video). however, the heavy cavalry charging into the main lines has only been viable on occasion depending on how the technologies stack up on the battlefield.
Cavalry was always supposed to be an exploitation weapon. All it takes is a bunch of people stood close together with pointy sticks to see off a cavalry charge.
I was a Cavalry Scout for 9 years. The first time I heard this song was as a drunk 20-year old at my first regimental ball, and I thought it was the best song I'd ever heard. The second time I heard it was at 0430 on a December morning standing in formation in running shorts waiting for a squadron run. I did not enjoy it the second time. This reminds me of the first time I heard it.
Just in case you want to sing along!! 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 I wanna horse in the volunteer force that's 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 vict'ry arch 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 cav'lryman 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 (jack) 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
ok the music is obviously great, but.... I've been thinking about this scene in War Horse, and while I understand what the film makers were trying to show the audience with the cavalry charge being decimated by machine gun fire, the Germans would never have had that many machine guns lined up in one spot that early in the war. The "War of Movement" of the Summer and Fall of 1914 lasted a good bit of time, but receives almost no scholarly or popular attention when it comes to studies of The Great War
Reminds me of my late dad who was part of the South African Cavalry as a young man in the late 80's/early 90's. Wish I could've shown him this. He would've loved it.
You are the only band I've found that has covered this song this well. I have known the song for years - I served 25 years as a US Army Cavalry officer. My son loves this tune and remembers it from his earliest years. Thank you for a superb rendition. Consider doing the reprise, from the same album. It really puts it in context.
When I completed the spur ride my unit let my grandfather, who fought at LZ X-ray, put my spurs on my boots in the ceremony...probably the best moment of my life
As a veteran myself I feel this greatly encaptures the spirit of young men going to war. Full of hope and desire to prove themselves and be the best, and as the song goes on and becomes more somber, in my mind represents the loss of innocence as those young men no romanticize war but realize the somber nature of it all

beautiful cover mr. watkins! The visuals near the end really drive home the end of the age of saber armed horsemen absolutely dominating the European battlefield.
I think it was an italian cavalry unit that charged russian lines in WW2. A German officer watched it and after the cavalry won went to the italians and said "That was very brave ... but we don´t do this anymore. Please, never do this again!"
@@julonkrutor4649 so it turns out it wasn't quite like that. The actual event was they charged at unprepared infantry. After they overran the infantry some armoured cars showed up and cut them to pieces. Where the tanks came in was some Italian reporters wrote a story after seeing tanks on scene with the dead cavalry and the German propaganda machine ran with it
You did an amazing job with this song, could you please also do "Horse soldiers" by the same singer Corb Lund? It has the same theme as this but covers way more cool stuff. It's really epic!
Very beautiful rendition of that song. But commenting on War Horse just for trivia ... that particular sabre at that particular time would've been used as a very very short lance to "give point" at the enemy. Basically ride into the enemy to stab. Yes, safety, yes actors.
Its interesting that Cavalry was one of the most important branches in a states military for centuries. Cavalery led charges and breeched enemy lines and a Cavalry charge could break the enemy formation. But with the advancement in firearm technology in the 19th Century Cavalry lost its use more and more. With the invention of the Maxim Gun the Days of cavalry charges were over.
This is such an amazing and honestly heartbreaking song... The contrast between the at first courageous lyrics and the slight innocence in his voice... And then the sudden realisation at the end, that he probably won't survive the whole ordeal... Incredibly powerful

I love your renditions of various songs; I saw you perform this on Tik Tok and I am so appreciative that you made a full version!
War Horse is a movie that always fuckin gets my tears a goin.
This is one of our favorite songs from Corb Lund and you did it well. I liked the video you accompanied with it.
I am mildly obsessed with this song. The way he sings it just hits me right. The cadence is amazing.
Why did this make me cry?
Is it just me, or does that drum pattern sound like the hoofbeats of the entire cavalry?
Just came from TikTok thank you for covering one of my favorite songs keep up the good work
You should do we”ll fight for Uncle Sam
God bless your voice good sir, listen to your covers everyday at work and this one has been added as of now love it
You need more subs. Also I love the tempo matching a horse trot.

Great song
Dude your voice is perfect for this song
Am learning to play the marching drum because of this song an you did a awesome cover of this song
This whole channel was a treasure to find
This is such an amazing and honestly heartbreaking song... The contrast between the at first courageous lyrics and the slight innocence in his voice... And then the sudden realisation at the end, that he probably won't survive the whole ordeal... Incredibly powerful
Thank you for bringing me to tears once again
