I LEFT MY LOVE
(Stan Jones)

I left my love, my love I left her
sleepin' in her bed
I turned my back on my true love
Went fightin' Johnny Reb

I left my love a letter in the holler of a tree
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Calvary

Heigh-O, down they go there's no such word as can't
We'll ride clean down to Hell! And! Back!
For Ulysses Simpson Grant

Heigh-O, down they go there's no such word as can't
We'll ride clean down to Hell! And! Back!
For Ulysses Simpson Grant

I left my love, my love I left her
sleepin' in her bed
I turned my back on my true love
Went fightin' Johnny Reb

I left my love a letter in the holler of a tree
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Calvary
In the U.S. Calvary

Heigh-O, down they go there's no such word as can't
We'll ride clean down to New Orleans!
For Ulysses Simpson Grant

As a kid, this was one of my favorite songs from a favorite movie, "The Horse
Soldiers".
It is a rousing march that I would sing or hum when doing a physical task,
running in sports,
or marching cadence in the military. It and 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon'
"inspired" me to make it
through boot camp physical chores.
