- Join the Cavalry was a military song popular during the American Civil War. The verses detail various feats performed by Jeb Stuart's troopers, the cavalry arm of the Army of Northern Virginia, while the chorus urges the listener to "join the cavalry". Occasionally, the title is recorded as "Jine the Cavalry". The song was most common in Virginia. "Jine the Cavalry!" was among Stuart’s favorite songs, and became the unofficial theme song of his Confederate cavalry corps. It recounts many of Stuart’s early exploits, including the daring "Ride around the Army of the Potomac" in the early summer of 1862, and the Confederate Cavalry raid to Chambersburg, PA in October 1862. One of Stuart’s men, Sam Sweeney, was an accomplished banjo player and often serenaded Stuart and his officers during the Gettysburg Campaign. JINE THE CAVALRY!

- «Вступа́й в кавале́рию» (англ. Join the Cavalry!, вариант: Jine the Cavalry!) — военная песня, популярная в годы американской гражданской войны. В ней упоминаются подвиги кавалеристов Джеба Стюарта — одного из главных кавалерийских командующих в Северовирджинской армии генерала Ли. В припеве присутствует призыв «вступать в кавалерию». Эта песня особенно популярна в Вирджинии. Песня «Jine the Cavalry!» была любимой песней Стюарта и стала неофициальным гимном его кавалерийского корпуса. В песне перечисляются многие реальные исторические события, например рейд вокруг Потомакской армии летом 1862 года и кавалерийский рейд в Пенсильванию в октябре 1862. Упоминается сражение при Чанселорсвилле. Сэм Суиней, один из кавалеристов Стюарта, был профессиональный игрок на банджо и часто исполнял эту песню во время Геттисбергской кампании. (ru)
