A Cavalry Catch
Jean Sibelius, Fiona Macleod
Up! for the bugles are calling
Saddle and boot, and away!
Sabres are clanking and lances are glancing
The colonel is fuming and horses are prancing
So up with the sabres and lances
Up and away!
Up and away!
Where are we off to so fast, boys?
Saddle and boot, and away!
Thunder of hoofs in a rush we go past
In a whirlwind of dust we are gone as a blast
For we're off with the sabres and lances
Off and away!
Off and away!
