I want to be a cavalryman
And with John Hunt Morgan ride
A Colt revolver in my belt
A saber by my side
I want a pair of epaulettes
To match my suit of gray
The uniform my mother made
And lettered C.S.A. |

Bob just got skewered.
This is from a Boyle County Kentucky tourism brochure.It was taken at the Perryville battlefield. I am half alligator and half horse,and pure kaintuck
I have the prettyist sister, the fastest hoss,the truest rifle,and the best knife for most any job,
And if you have came against me you have hit a snag.
