[00:00.000]	作曲 : A. Dalsheimer and Henry Russell
[00:21.240]	A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[00:23.195]	A home in the trenches deep,
[00:25.150]	Where we dodge "Yank" shells enough,
[00:27.112]	And our old "pea-bread" won't keep.
[00:29.353]	On "old Logan's" beef I pine,
[00:31.313]	For there's fat on his bones no more
[00:33.539]	Oh! give me some pork and brine,
[00:35.498]	And truck from a sutlers store.
[00:37.736]	A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[00:39.699]	A home in the trenches deep,
[00:41.936]	When we dodge "Yank" shells enough,
[00:43.898]	And our old pea-bread won't keep,
[00:46.137]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[00:50.338]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[00:54.255]	Old Grant is starving us out,
[00:56.494]	Our grub is fast wasting away,
[00:58.448]	Pemb' don't know what he's about,
[01:00.683]	And he hasn't for many a day,
[01:02.637]	So we'll bury "old Logan" tonight,
[01:04.616]	From tough beef we'll be set free
[01:07.133]	We'll put him far out of sight,
[01:09.086]	No more of his meat for me.
[01:11.324]	A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[01:13.287]	A home in the trenches deep,
[01:15.244]	Where we dodge "Yank" shells enough,
[01:17.484]	And our old "pea-bread" won't keep.
[01:19.435]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[01:23.627]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[01:44.873]	Texas steers are no longer in view,
[01:46.553]	Mule steaks are now "done up 'brown, "
[01:48.510]	While peabread, mule roast and mule stew,
[01:51.031]	Are our fare in Vicksburg town;
[01:52.986]	And the song of our hearts shall be,
[01:55.222]	While the Yanks and their gunboats rave;
[01:57.185]	A life in a bomb-proof for me,
[01:59.149]	And a tear on "old Logan's" grave.
[02:01.387]	A life on the Vicksburg bluff,
[02:03.342]	A home in the trenches deep,
[02:05.296]	Where we dodge "Yank" shells enough,
[02:07.252]	And our old "pea-bread" won't keep.
[02:09.771]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
[02:13.695]	Pea-bread Pea-bread, our old pea-bread won't keep.
