作曲 : Traditional Song
 Don't you see de black clouds Risin' ober yonder
 Whar de Massa's ole plantation am?
 Nebber you be frightened Dem is only darkeys,
 Come to jine an' fight for Uncle Sam.
 Look out dar, now! We's a gwine to shoot!
 Look out dar - don't you understand?
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
 Don't you see de lightnin' way up in de canebrake
 Like as if we gwine to hab a storm?
 No! you is mistaken 'Tis de darkey's bay'nets,
 An' de buttons on dar uniform.
 Look out dar, now! We's a gwine to shoot!
 Look out dar - don't you understand?
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
 Whar you hear de tunder, Way up in de cornfield
 Dat is our ole forty-pounder gun
 When de shells are missin', Why den we load wid punkins
 All de same to make de cowards run.
 Look out dar, now! We's a gwine to shoot!
 Look out dar - don't you understand?
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
 Massa was de Kernel In de rebel army,
 Ebber sence we went an' run away;
 But his lubley darkeys, while dey has been a watchin'
 An' dey took him pris'ner tudder day.
 Look out dar, now! We's a gwine to shoot!
 Look out dar - don't you understand?
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
 We will be de massa, He will be de servant -
 Try him how he like it for a spell;
 So we take de Kernel, So we crack de Butt'nutts.
 So de cannon carry back de shell.
 Look out dar, now! We's a gwine to shoot!
 Look out dar - don't you understand?
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
 Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
 And we's a gwine to occupy de land.
