作曲 : Traditional Song
 'Twas at the siege of Vicksburg,
 Of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg,
 'Twas at the siege of Vicksburg,
 When the parrot shells were whistling though the air
 Listen to the parrot shells, listen to the parrot shells,
 The parrot shells were whistling though the air.
 Listen to the parrot shells, listen to the parrot shells,
 The parrot shells were whistling though the air.
 Oh, well will we remember,
 Remember, remember,
 Tough mule meat, June sans November ;
 And the minnies-balls were whistling through the air.
 Listen to the minnies-balls, listen to the minnies-balls,
 The minnies-balls were whistling through the air.
 Listen to the minnies-balls, listen to the minnies-balls,
 The minnies-balls were whistling through the air.
 'Twas at the siege of Vicksburg,
 Of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg,
 'Twas at the siege of Vicksburg,
 When the parrot shells were whistling though the air
 Listen to the parrot shells, listen to the parrot shells,
 The parrot shells were whistling though the air.
 Listen to the parrot shells, listen to the parrot shells,
 The parrot shells were whistling though the air.
