[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
