D# G# D#
Not another foot was stirring on the floor of the house
A# G# D#
except for my 'pa who'd been up for a while
D# G# D#
Seems he's headin' on after the bad word that came,
A# G# D#
of his brothers who marched but were left down all slain
A#
Please call out the cavalry
G# D#
Send them along
A#
For we need our daddy,
G# D#
and so does this farm
G#
Mama stays awake to pray,
D#
in a lonely straw bed
A#
and we rise before the sun
G# D#
with the work that he left
D# G# D#
D# G# D#
He took what mama made him to feed him on his way
A# G# D#
he kissed all my brothers, my sisters, and me
D# G# D#
he held my poor mama, looked down and said, "Son,
A# G# D#
I'll be home soon, now hand me my coat and my gun."
A#
Please call out the cavalry

D# D# G# D#
D# A# D# G# D#
D# G# D#
It's been some days without him, but we've toiled away
A# G# D#
hang onto the cattle and the crops that we've laid
D# G# D#
mama sits by the window and stares until dark
A# G# D#
and rocks by the fire and cries out her heart
A#
Please call out the cavalry
G# D#
Send my man home
A#
For we need our daddy
G# D#
and so does this farm
G# D#
mama stays awake to pray, in a lonely straw bed
A# G# D#
and we rise before the sun, for the work that you left
D# D# G# D#
D# D# A# D#
D# G# D#
been about a year since my daddy had gone
A# G# D#
when I saw an old carriage, and a coat I'd once known
D# G# D#
it was draped o'er a man who once stood proud and tall
A# G# D#
now broken and battered and missing an arm
D# G# D#
he cried when he saw us, and the words they came slow
A# G# D#
of the sunrise he found and the hell that he'd known
D# G# D#
he asked for forgiveness for failing us all
A# G# D#
his duty cut short, in the battle he lost
A# G# D#
We said, "don't mind that daddy, for now you are home,
A# G# D#
now mama cries for joy, and she won't sleep alone.
G# D#
You've sons and you've daughters, now please use our arms."
A# G# D#
Now rise before the sun, for the work to be done.
