Lyrics The Horse Went Back to War - John Edmond

Alexander Ghenkis Khan Wellington Napoleon
Paul Revere, Dick Turpin and many a highwayman
Raiders, crusaders, cavalry and Red Indians
They all used horses for whatever was there plan
Against the Zulus and the Moors, Brits, Franken's and the Boers
Used horses for fighting on many a foreign shore
For their fightin needs had to have a horse between their knees
That's when the horse went off to war
Off to war off to war that's how the horse went off to war
Off to war off to war that's how the horse went off to war
Then the world was doin' fine no ponies workin' in the mine
They were in the circus and the rodeo
Put them in their boxes for shows and huntin' foxes
Pig-sticking racing and a game they called polo
And they used them ponies for royal ceremonies
Pullin carts and ploughing that's what they used ' em for
"cause they realized war machines are mechanized
That's when the horse came back from war
Back from war back from war that's how the horse came back from war
Back from war back from war that's how the horse came back from war
With voluntary amnesia the world forgot Rhodesia
When the terrorists came in they were another kind of foe
Huntin' them in vain in difficult terrain
Trackin' them on foot was cumbersome and slow
Got back in the saddle and then went into battle
They went off to settle up the score
Mounted soldiers dressed in cammo with rifles full of ammo
That's when the horse went back to war
Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war
Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war
Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war
Back to war back to war that's when the horse went back to war
