Light Cavalry Songtext
von Beggars Opera

Not many folk can understand
The poor old grey-haired man
They see his madness shining bright
When it came to this (end?)

He thinks of many years ago
When all the battles raged
While he was send to fight the foe
(Oh how the years are aged?)

Now all he has is memories of another age
All wonder will you laugh at him when he set our (sage?)


We see him walking through the pod
The poor old grey-haired man
He thinks of all those days gone by
With the flag (?)
Oh light cavalry

Listen to his tales he tells of battles won and lost
He was saved, his friends have paid the cost

Not many folk can understand
The poor old grey-haired man
They see his madness shining bright
When it came to this (end?)

He thinks of many years ago
When all the battles raged
While he was send to fight the foe
(Oh how the years are aged?)
Oh light cavalry
