Hi-Yo! Down they go

For Ulysses Simpson Grant.

I left my love, my love 
I left a sleepin' in her bed.
I turned my back on my true love 
When fightin' Johnny Reb.
I left my love a letter I
In the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me
In the US Cavalry, in the US Cavalry.

Hi-Yo! Down they go
There's no such word as “can't.”
We're riding down to hell and back 
For Ulysses Simpson Grant
