Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : A. E. Blackmar, Patrick S. Gilmore
[00:16.376] We all went down to New Orleans,
[00:18.194] For Bales, for Bales;
[00:20.152] We all went down to New Orleans,
[00:22.199] For Bales, says I;
[00:24.156] We all went down to New Orleans,
[00:26.204] To get a peep behind the scenes,
[00:28.257] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[00:30.306] Johnny fill up the bowl".
[00:32.358] We thought when we got in the "Ring",
[00:34.314] For Bales, for Bales;
[00:36.322] We thought when we got in the "Ring",
[00:38.280] For Bales, says I;
[00:40.295] We thought when we got in the "Ring",
[00:42.285] Greenbacks would be a dead sure thing,
[00:44.284] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[00:46.431] Johnny fill up the bowl".
[01:04.322] The "ring" went up, with bagging and rope,“
[01:06.327] For Bales, for Bales;
[01:08.424] Upon the "Black Hawk" with bagging and rope,
[01:10.385] For Bales, says I;
[01:12.340] Went up "Red River" with bagging and rope,
[01:14.306] Expecting to make a pile of "soap",
[01:16.270] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[01:18.461] Johnny fill up the bowl".
[01:20.428] But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
[01:22.341] For Bales, for Bales;
[01:24.348] But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
[01:26.592] For Bales, says I;
[01:28.409] But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
[01:30.370] Burned up the cotton and whipped old Banks,
[01:32.370] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[01:34.562] Johnny fill up the bowl".
[01:52.418] Our "ring" came back and cursed and swore,
[01:54.468] For Bales, for Bales;
[01:56.471] Our "ring" came back and cursed and swore,
[01:58.472] For Bales, says I;
[02:00.427] Our "ring" came back and cursed and swore,
[02:02.525] For we got no cotton at Grand Ecore,
[02:04.396] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[02:06.631] Johnny fill up the bowl".
[02:08.589] Now let us all give praise and thanks,
[02:10.503] For Bales, for Bales;
[02:12.509] Now let us all give praise and thanks,
[02:14.519] For Bales, says I;
[02:16.475] Now let us all give praise and thanks,
[02:18.441] For the victory gained by General Banks,
[02:20.306] "And we'll all drink stone blind,
[02:22.696] Johnny fill up the bowl".
