Corb Lund - Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!
[Chorus]
Em Am Em
I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Em B7
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
Em Am Em Am
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
Em B7 Em
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em
Well, I's with Custer and the 7th in ‘76 or ‘77
Em B7
Scalped at Little Big Horn by the Sioux
Em Am Em Am
And the tears and devastation of a once-proud warrior nation
Em B7 Em
This I know ‘cause I was riding with them too
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
And I drank mare's blood on the run when I rode with the Great Khan
Em B7
On the frozen Mongol steppe while at his height
Em Am Em Am
And I's a White Guard, I's a Red Guard, I's the Tsar's own palace horse guard
Em B7 Em
When Romanov was murdered in the night
[Verse 3]
Em Am Em
And I knew Salah al-Din and rode his swift Arabians
Em B7
Harassing doomed crusaders on their heavy drafts
Em Am Em Am
And yet I rode the Percheron against the circling Saracen
Em B7 Em
And once again, against myself was cast
[Chorus]
Em Am Em
Well, I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Em B7
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
Em Am Em Am
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
Em B7 Em
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
[Verse 4]
Em Am Em
Well, I've worn the Mounties crimson, if you're silent and you'll listen
