Thread Name: Lyr Req: Gary Owen (not the old one)
Subject: LYRICS for
hello, I'm trying to find the lyrics to a song I heard as a boy once. I believe it's title was Gary Owen, but it is not the "Gary Owen" from the UK. The refrain goes:

Gary Owen, Gary Owen, Gary Owen. In the valley of Montana all alone. THere are better days to be in the seventh calvary. So we'll ride again and charge for dear old GARY OWEN!

Several verses are interspersed, which details an indian attack, the seventh calvary's counterattack, and the defeat of the seventh calvary.

Involved is a man named Sergeant Flynn. That is really all I know...any help is much appreciated. thanks -scott
