Where is Jine the Cavalry?

You would have to ask a banjo picker that. Here's the Johnny Horton version for you.

It stands right alongside The North Carolina War Song

To: archy
Thank you so much for Jine the Calvary. And it had the Joe Hooker verse that Stuart made up when he took over that II Corps at Chancellorsville. That made my day!

A.P. Hill laughing told Stuart and he and Sweeney were banned from visiting the Light Division because after Stuart left all his soldiers wanted to Jine the Cavalry.

I had the music and the words, but not together. I have put it in my favorites, so I can listen to it frequently. Thanks again!
