[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional Song
[00:10.278] A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[00:12.330] A home in the trenches deep,
[00:14.331] Where we dodge "Yank" shells enough,
[00:16.386] And our old "pea-bread" won't keep.
[00:18.340] On "old Logan's" beef I pine,
[00:20.298] For there's fat on his bones no more
[00:22.772] Oh! give me some pork and brine,
[00:25.470] And truck from a sutlers store.
[00:28.173] A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[00:30.410] A home in the trenches deep,
[00:32.599] When we dodge "Yank" shells enough,

[00:36.801] Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[00:41.137] Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[00:45.517] Old Grant is starving us out,
[00:47.711] Our grub is fast wasting away,
[00:49.476] Pemb' don't know what he's about,
[00:51.668] And he hasn't for many a day,
[00:53.903] So we'll bury "old Logan" tonight,
[00:55.957] From tough beef we'll be set free
[00:58.105] We'll put him far out of sight,
[01:01.002] No more of his meat for me.

[01:20.983] Texas steers are no longer in view,
[01:22.941] Mule steaks are now "done up 'brown, "
[01:25.080] While peabread, mule roast and mule stew,
[01:27.485] Is our fare in Vicksburg town;
[01:29.484] And the song of our hearts shall be,
[01:31.531] While the Yanks and their gunboats rave;
[01:33.955] A life in a bomb-proof for me,
[01:36.749] And a tear on "old Logan's" grave.
[01:39.867] A life on the Vicksburg bluff,

[01:52.869] Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[01:57.111] Like a rebel caged I pine
[01:59.304] And I dodge when the cannons roar
[02:01.309] If they give me corn dodgers and swine
[02:03.591] And I'll stay forever more
[02:05.735] Once more in the trench I stand
[02:07.552] With my own far-ranging gun
[02:09.842] Should the fray come hand to hand
[02:11.757] Yes? I'll wager my rations, I run!

[02:32.271] The trenches no longer in view
[02:34.649] The shells begun to fall
[02:36.700] Tis' the sound I hate. Don't you?
[02:38.756] Into my rat hole I'll crawl
[02:40.990] The bullets may wistle by
[02:42.809] And the terrible bombs come down
[02:45.046] But give me full rations, and I
[02:47.935] We'll stay in my hole in the ground
[02:51.066] A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
