There have been many a tale told
round camps and hearthstones too,
about the seventh cavalry
and the work they had to do,

But the greatest i have heard
was by my grandpaw told,
about the gallant seventh
and how hard they rode,

It was formed in Alabama
in the year of eithteen sixty one,
and then they went to tennesee
and there the battles won,

They rode with old marse Robert
and with Forest too they say,
and thier story is still rememberd
in the history books of today,

So whenever tales are mentioned
about battles lost or won,
remember the gallant seventh
in the year of sixty one...
