Lyrics

[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.
