I Left My love (US cavalry song from Ford's "Horse Soldiers")

Une célèbre chanson de la cavalerie américaine, du moins dans le film de John Ford "Les Cavaliers" (1959).
Paroles:
"I left my love, my love I left a sleepin' in her bed.
I turned my back on my true love when fightin' Johnny Reb.
I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me, in the US Cavalry.

Hi-Yo! Down they go, there's no such word as can't.
We're riding down to hell and back for Ulysses Simpson Grant.

Hi-Yo! Down they go, there's no such word as can't.
We're riding down to hell and back for Ulysses Simpson Grant.

I left my love, my love I left a sleepin' in her bed.
I turned my back on my true love when fightin' Johnny Reb.
I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me, in the US Cavalry, in the US Cavalry.

Hi-Yo! Down they go, there's no such word as can't.
We're riding down to hell and back for Ulysses Simpson Grant."

It's Teddy Roosevelt with his rough riders at San Juan Hill ^^.

mais ça reste très sympa quand même ! les cavaliers, c'est pas très fidèle historiquement , les tenues et autres sont pas terribles non plus mais quelle ambiance ! un classique pour tous les fans de CW !

[TousavecNintendo]

Oui!

J'ai toutefois une nette préférence pour les westerns spaghettis, Sergio Leone au premier plan.

j'adore, mais cette chanson n'est pas un air de la guerre civile et ne date que de 1959 , elle fut écrite pour le film "les cavaliers" (the horse soldiers de J Ford avec The Duke) par Stan Jones qui en fit la bande musicale ...

[TousavecNintendo]

Le pire c'est que j'ai vu le film! Je ne m'en souvenais même pas.

Merci de la précision.

Thank you for this - My son served in the 1-8 Cavalry in Iraq and this is a lovely tribute.

Would the photograph be in a particular book or website?

@Rikki0 No the war was not illegal the Confederacy was no longer part of the Union therefore under no protection by the Articles so there was no violation and second Britain knew after their Antietam that the South had no chance to win the war so they didnt bother wasting money or resources to join the war

[kingbushwickthe33rd]

Look,"The Horse Soldiers"was an underrated Pappy Ford and The Duke collaberation.

Good movie and good song.
