Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier - Corb Lund (Cover) by Seth Staton Watkins
STREAM NOW: distrokid.com/...
MY LINKS: linktr.ee/Seth...
Another classic by Corb Lund, this song traverses history to visit upon some of the most famous horsemen that ever dared to ride. From the Mongol steppe, to the plains of the American West, to the desert sands of Jerusalem, the song ties together the common struggle of these different peoples, in war and in death, as allies and as dire enemies. And in the end, their fate is the same, none of them a match for the destruction wrought by modern weapons. However, there may still be hope. Perhaps one day, the hooves of a thousand horses crossing the plain will be heard once again (preferably with peaceful intent).

Lyrics:
I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
Well I's with Custer and the 7th in ‘76 or ‘77
Scalped at Little Big Horn by the Sioux
And the tears and devastation of a once proud warrior nation
This I know ‘cause I was riding with them too
And I drank mare's blood on the run when I rode with the Great Khan
On the frozen Mongol steppe while at his height
And I's a White Guard, I's a Red Guard, I's the Tsar's own palace horse guard
When Romanov was murdered in the night
And I knew Saladin and rode his swift Arabians
Harassing doomed crusaders on their heavy drafts
And yet I rode the Percheron against the circling Saracen
Once again against myself was cast
Well I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
Well I've worn the Mounties' crimson, if you're silent and you'll listen
You'll know that it was with them that I stood
When Mayerthorpe, she cried, as her four horsemen died
Gunned down in scarlet, cold as blood
I's the 'fustest with the mostest' when I fought for Bedford Forrest
Suffered General Wilson's Union raid
And mine was not to reason why, mine was but to do and die
At Crimea with the charging light brigade
On hire from Swiss or Sweden, be me Christian, be me heathen
The devil to the sabre I shall put
With a crack flanking maneuver, I'm an uhlan alles uber
Striking terror into regiment of foot
Well I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
I knew my days were numbered when o'er the trenches lumbered
More modern machinations de la guerre
No match for rapid fire or the steel birds of the sky
With a final rear guard action I retreat
No match for barbered wire or the armored engines whine
Reluctant I retire and take my leave
Today I ride with special forces on those wily Afghan horses
Dostum's Northern Alliance give their thanks
And no matter defeat or victory, in battle it occurs to me
That we may see a swelling in our ranks
I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, eternal, through and through

This is one of my all time favorite songs and this is magnificent cover. To me, Lund’s original has sort of a weary touch to it, as you’d expect from the deathless, eternal horse soldier. But this feels a lot more energetic, upbeat-the other side of a cavalryman’s existence I suppose.

"Polish lancers charging German tanks" is apocryphal. The Polish cavalry generally fought with carbines in WWII, and a Polish cavalry brigade had some 37mm antitank guns. The lances were ceremonial. A Polish cavalry unit did charge a German motorcycle recon unit, and unexpectedly found themselves facing the associated German recon armored cars (Schwere Panzerspahwagen).

I don't know if this is better than Corb, but if it brings more attention to the song, I'm all for it.

I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through Well I's with Custer and the 7th in ‘76 or ‘77 Scalped at Little Big Horn by the Sioux And the pain and devastation of a once proud warrior nation This I know ‘cause I was riding with them too And I drank mare's blood on the run when I rode with the Great Khan On the frozen Mongol steppe while at his height And I's a White Guard, I's a Red Guard, I's the Tsar's own palace horse guard When Romanov was murdered in the night And I knew Saladin and rode his swift Arabians Harassing doomed crusaders on their heavy drafts And yet I rode the Percheron against the circling Saracen Once again against myself was cast Well I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through Well I've worn the Mounties' crimson, if you're silent and you'll listen You'll know that it was with them that I stood When Mayerthorpe, she cried, as her four horsemen died Gunned down in scarlet, cold as blood I's the 'fustest with the mostest' when I fought for Bedford Forrest Suffered General Wilson's Union raid And mine was not to reason why, mine was but to do and die At Crimea with the charging light brigade On hire from Swiss or Sweden, be me Christian, be me heathen The devil to the sabre I shall put With a crack flanking maneuver, I'm an uhlan alles uber Striking terror into regiment of foot Well I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through

Having been a cavalry officer myself, this is a powerful song. Of course, my horse, was a modern tank! Armored Cav! HOOOAH!

Great version, but as an Aussie, you missed the best line, the one that fades out on Corb Lunds vid "I's with the Aussies at Beersheba took the wells so badly needed And with the Polish lancers charging German tanks Saw Ross' mount shot down at Washingtown the night we burned the White House down And cursed the sack of York and sons of Yanks "
