- We hauled him right off the train.
Sergeant Kirby reporting, sir.
- Well, Kirby.
Besides being drunk,
what's got you riled up?
They got me in town.
Pulled me off the train.
Just gotten filled.
My first in two years.
They tell me you're good. You better be.
You're replacing the best soldier
in the regiment.
I expect you to be happy about that.
- I could be happier where I was going.
You got me there.
- No, sir, you got me here.
Sir.
- Sir.
March this sergeant
to the river and throw him in.
Clothes and all?
- Clothes and all.
Pump him full of black coffee
till it runs out his ears.
Kirby, when you come back,
come back sober. You've got two hours.
Parades, Nashville...
- You can leave that keg.
You're welcome to it... sir.
Tangle with me and I'll have your hide.
You're welcome to that too, sir.
If it's in the line of duty.
( bugle)...
Forward, left.
- (others) Forward, left.
Yo-oh.
- (others) Yo-oh.
(male choir) I left my love
My love I left, a-sleeping in her bed
I turned my back on my true love
I left my love a letter in the holler of a tree...
Good luck, John.
- Thank you, sir.
Hi-ho, down they go
There's no such word as 'can't'
We'll ride clean down to hell and back
I left my love a letter in the holler of a tree
I told her she would find me
in the US Cavalry
In the US Cavalry
Hi-ho, down they go
There's no such word as 'can't'
We'll ride clean down to New Orleans
I left my love My love I left
A-sleeping in her bed
Wait on here a minute.
The sun, it raises in the east every time?
- It sure does in Missouri.
For eight hours, with no turning,
we've been heading this way.
If the sun raises in the east,
what direction is that?
It ain't north.
- Course not. It's south.
We've been riding smack-dab
into reb territory.
Reb country, Richard.
- Yes, sir.
Send out your scouts.
(yells order)...
...(yells order)...
...(gunfire)
Are you going to call a halt, or leave
them to the clemency of the enemy?
Sound recall.
( bugle)
Just a patrol, sir. No sign of any
major force, as far as I could tell.
The fact remains we've been spotted.
The word's out for sure now. They'll be
back here with everything available.
All right, Ned,
you can prepare to turn back.
That's a bad mistake, John,
splitting the force.
Now you need every man you've got.
Diversion be damned.
They've got to think we all turned back.
- Oh, sure, sure.
But from now on, every Johnny Reb
with a gun will be hiding behind a tree...
...trying to make a name for himself.
And you want to cut your force
by one third. John, listen to me.
