[00:00.000] 作曲 : John W. Palmer
[00:13.047] Come, stack arms, men! Pile on the rails,
[00:15.295] Stir up the camp-fire bright;
[00:17.263] No matter if the canteen fails,
[00:19.223] We'll make a rousing night!
[00:21.182] Here Shenandoah brawls along,
[00:23.144] And burly Blue-Ridge echoes strong,
[00:25.106] To swell our brigade's rousing song
[00:27.074] Of "Stonewall Jackson's way."
[00:29.323] We see him now, - the old slouched hat,
[00:31.012] Cocked o'er his eye askew;
[00:32.974] The shrewd, dry smile, - the speech so pat,
[00:35.215] So calm, so blunt, so true.
[00:37.181] That "Blue-Light Elder," knows him well.
[00:39.152] Says he, "that's Banks, - he's fond of shell;
[00:41.118] Lord save his soul! we'll give him - well."
[00:43.088] That's Stonewall Jackson's way.
[00:53.196] Silence! ground arms! kneel all! caps off!
[00:55.167] Old "Blue Light's" going to pray.
[00:57.128] Strangle the fool that dares to scoff!
[00:59.083] Attention! That's his way.
[01:01.041] Appealing from his native sod,
[01:03.007] "Hear us, hear us, oh mighty God,"
[01:05.249] Lay "tare Thine arm; stretch forth thy rod,
[01:07.217] "That's Stonewall Jackson's way."
[01:09.463] He's in the saddle now, Fall in!
[01:11.149] Steady the whole brigade;
[01:13.111] Hill's at the ford, cut off, we'll win
[01:15.073] His way out, ball and blade!
[01:17.039] What matter if our shoes are worn?
[01:19.018] What matter if our feet are torn?
[01:20.982] Quick-step! we're with him there at dawn!
[01:23.222] That's "Stonewall Jackson's way."
[01:33.263] The sun's bright lances, rout the mists,
[01:34.946] Of morning, and by George!
[01:37.193] Here's Longstreet, struggling in the lists,
[01:38.874] Hemmed in an ugly gorge.
[01:41.115] Pope and his Yankees, fierce before,
[01:43.079] "Bay'nets and grape!" hear Stonewall roar;
[01:45.044] "Charge, Stuart! Pay off Ashby's score!"
[01:47.290] In "Stonewall Jackson's way."
[01:49.256] Ah! Maiden, wait and watch and yearn
[01:50.935] For news of Jackson's band!
[01:53.180] Ah! Widow, read, with eyes that burn,
[01:55.142] That ring upon thy hand;
[01:57.108] Ah! Wife, sew on, hope on, and pray
[01:59.074] Thy life shall not be all forlorn
[02:01.041] The foe had better ne'er been born
[02:03.006] That gets in "Stonewall's way."
