| Lyrics: | Fiddler's Green (Cavalry)
Halfway down the trail to hell
In a shady meadow
green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
Marching past,
straight through to hell,
The infantry are seen, '
Accompanied by the
Engineers,
Artillery and Marine,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Flddlers' Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer
scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen,
And so rides
back to drink agaln
With friends at Fiddlers' Green.
And so when man and horse
go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge or fierce melee
You stop a
bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your
canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers'
Green.
