Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : George F. Root
[00:12.342] Heavily falls the rain
[00:16.577] Wild are the breezes tonight
[00:20.824] But 'neath the roof, the hours as they fly
[00:25.574] Are happy and calm and bright
[00:30.833] Gathering round our fireside
[00:35.325] Tho' it be summer time
[00:39.577] We sit and talk of brothers abroad
[00:44.324] Forgetting the midnight chime
[00:50.084] Brave boys are they
[00:54.331] Gone at their country's call
[00:58.824] And yet, and yet we cannot forget
[01:03.827] That many brave boys must fall
[01:09.830] Under the homestead roof
[01:14.083] Nestled so cozy and warm
[01:18.328] While soldiers sleep, with little or naught
[01:23.078] To shelter them from the storm
[01:29.081] Resting on grassy couches
[01:33.574] Pillow'd on hillocks damp
[01:37.579] Of martial fare, how little we know,
[01:42.327] Till brothers are in the camp
[01:48.330] Brave boys are they
[01:52.823] Gone at their country's call
[01:56.827] And yet, and yet we cannot forget
[02:01.577] That many brave boys must fall
[02:07.822] Thinking no less of them,
[02:12.073] Loving our country the more
[02:16.333] We sent them forth to fight for the flag
[02:21.082] Their fathers before them bore
[02:26.573] Though the great tear drops started
[02:30.833] This was our parting trust
[02:35.073] God bless you, boys! we'll welcome you home
[02:39.831] When rebels are in the dust
[02:45.581] Brave boys are they
[02:49.574] Gone at their country's call
[02:53.833] And yet, and yet we cannot forget
[02:59.083] That many brave boys must fall
[03:16.017] May the bright wings of love
[03:20.521] Guard them wherever they roam
[03:24.775] The time has come when brothers must fight
[03:29.266] And sisters must pray at home
[03:35.022] Oh! The dread field of battle
[03:39.516] Soon to be strewn with graves
[03:43.768] If brothers fall, then bury them where
[03:48.525] Our banner in triumph waves
[03:54.274] Brave boys are they
[03:58.268] Gone at their country's call
[04:02.526] And yet, and yet we cannot forget
[04:07.519] That many brave boys must fall
