[00:00.000] 作曲 : LimberTwig
[00:01.858]Oh! Kind folks listen to my song,
[00:04.156]It is no idle story,
[00:08.076]It's all about a volunteer
[00:11.594]Who's goin' to fight for glory!
[00:15.802]Now don't you think that I am right?
[00:19.218]For I am nothing shorter,
[00:23.265]And I belong to the fire Zou-Zous,
[00:26.705]And don't you think I oughter,
[00:30.472]I'm goin' down to Washington
[00:33.933]To fight for Abraham's daughter.
[00:38.672]Oh! Should you ask me who she am,
[00:41.572]Columbia is her name, sir;
[00:44.892]She is the child of Abraham,
[00:48.625]Or Uncle Sam, the same, sir.
[00:52.433]Now if I fight, why ain't I right?
[00:55.914]And don't you think I oughter.
[00:59.907]The volunteers are a-pouring in
[01:03.150]From every loyal quarter,
[01:07.011]And I'm goin' down to Washington
[01:10.562]To fight for Abraham's daughter.
[01:14.678]They say we have no officers,
[01:18.354]But, ah! They are mistaken;
[01:21.785]And soon you'll see the Rebels run,
[01:25.577]With all the fuss they're makin';
[01:29.282]For there is one who just sprung up,
[01:32.911]He'll show the foe no quarter,
[01:36.814](McClellan is the man I mean)
[01:40.778]You know he hadn't oughter,
[01:44.039]For he's gone down to Washington
[01:47.796]To fight for Abraham's daughter.
[02:29.368]We'll have a spree with Johnny Bull,
[02:31.941]Perhaps some day or other,
[02:36.051]And won't he have his fingers full,
[02:39.565]If not a deal of bother;
[02:43.391]For Yankee boys are just the lads
[02:47.119]Upon the land or water;
[02:50.795]And won't we have a "bully" fight,
[02:54.293]And don't you think we oughter,
[02:57.732]If he is caught at any time
[03:01.711]Insulting Abraham's daughter.
[03:06.516]But let us lay all jokes aside,
[03:09.491]It is a sorry question;
[03:12.844]The man who would these states divide
[03:16.829]Should hang for his suggestion.
[03:20.084]One country and one flag, I say,
[03:23.861]Whoe're the war may slaughter;
[03:28.176]So I'm goin' as a fire Zou-Zou,
[03:31.156]And don't you think I oughter,
[03:34.948]I'm going down to Washington
[03:38.257]To fight for Abraham's daughter.

作曲 : LimberTwig
Oh! Kind folks listen to my song,
It is no idle story,
It's all about a volunteer
Who's goin' to fight for glory!
Now don't you think that I am right?
For I am nothing shorter,
And I belong to the fire Zou-Zous,
And don't you think I oughter,
I'm goin' down to Washington
To fight for Abraham's daughter.
Oh! Should you ask me who she am,
Columbia is her name, sir;
She is the child of Abraham,
Or Uncle Sam, the same, sir.
Now if I fight, why ain't I right?
And don't you think I oughter.
The volunteers are a-pouring in
From every loyal quarter,
And I'm goin' down to Washington
To fight for Abraham's daughter.
They say we have no officers,
But, ah! They are mistaken;
And soon you'll see the Rebels run,
With all the fuss they're makin';
For there is one who just sprung up,
He'll show the foe no quarter,
(McClellan is the man I mean)
You know he hadn't oughter,
For he's gone down to Washington
To fight for Abraham's daughter.
We'll have a spree with Johnny Bull,
Perhaps some day or other,
And won't he have his fingers full,
If not a deal of bother;
For Yankee boys are just the lads
Upon the land or water;
And won't we have a "bully" fight,
And don't you think we oughter,
If he is caught at any time
Insulting Abraham's daughter.
But let us lay all jokes aside,
It is a sorry question;
The man who would these states divide
Should hang for his suggestion.
One country and one flag, I say,
Whoe're the war may slaughter;
So I'm goin' as a fire Zou-Zou,
And don't you think I oughter,
I'm going down to Washington
To fight for Abraham's daughter.
