Music: Garry Owen, 7th Cavalry song. Movie: We were soldiers, with Mel Gibson, Sam Elliot Original Version Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed But join with me, each jovial blade Come, drink and sing and lend your aid To help me with the chorus: Chorus Instead of spa, we'll drink brown ale And pay the reckoning on the nail; No man for debt shall go to jail From Garryowen in glory. We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun, We'll make the mayor and sheriffs run We are the boys no man dares dun If he regards a whole skin. Chorus Our hearts so stout have got no fame For soon 'tis known from whence we came Where'er we go they fear the name Of Garryowen in glory. Chorus 7TH Cavalry Version 1. We are the pride of the army, And a regiment of great renown, Our name's on the pages of history, From sixty six on down. If you think we stop or falter, While into the fray we're goin' Just watch the step with our heads erect When our band plays "Garry Owen." Chorus In the Fighting Seventh's the place for me. It's the cream of all the cavalry; No other regiment ever can claim It's pride, honor, glory, and undying fame. 2. We know no fear when stern duty Calls us far away from home, Our country's flag shall sagely o'er us wave, No matter where we roam. T'is the gallant Seventh Cavalry, It matters not where we're goin' such you'll surely say as we march away, When our band plays "Garry Owen." 3. Then hurrah for our brave commanders! Who lead us into the fight. We'll do or die in our country's cause. And battle for the right. And when the war is o'er And to our home we're goin' Just watch the step, with our head erect, When our band plays, "Garry Owen." No copyright violation intended!
