[00:00.000]	作曲 : General James Chalmers
[00:15.382]	The day of our destiny was darkened,
[00:18.921]	The heart of the nation stood still,
[00:22.367]	When Forts Henry and Donelson surrendered
[00:25.674]	And Johnston fell back to Nashville.
[00:29.677]	But the clouds which then thickened all around us
[00:33.086]	Served only the plainer to show
[00:36.632]	The form of that hero arising,
[00:39.941]	To deliver us all from the foe.
[00:43.912]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[00:47.410]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[00:50.884]	In our hearts he will triumph forever,
[00:54.050]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee!
[01:11.995]	At Shiloh he charged a division,
[01:16.001]	And covered our army's retreat,
[01:19.403]	At Murfreesboro won his promotion,
[01:22.629]	When Crittenden admitted his defeat.
[01:26.638]	Next Streight went careering before him,
[01:30.230]	Expecting our rear to assail,
[01:33.825]	But Forrest, with his fair maiden pilot
[01:36.809]	Soon landed the robber in jail!
[01:40.875]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[01:44.462]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[01:48.013]	In our hearts he will triumph forever,
[01:51.004]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee!
[02:09.424]	Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Okolona,
[02:13.021]	Memphis and Tishamingo Creek
[02:16.565]	Union City, Fort Pillow, and Paducah,
[02:19.737]	All the deeds of our hero bespeak.
[02:23.709]	Now, Athens, Sulphur Springs, and Pulaski,
[02:27.303]	Have aroused old Sherman from his lair,
[02:30.752]	For the boldest of Yankee commanders
[02:34.020]	Will tremble with Forrest in his rear!
[02:38.175]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[02:41.630]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[02:45.033]	In our hearts he will triumph forever,
[02:48.106]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee!
[03:06.387]	Next Johnsonville attracted his attention,
[03:09.937]	Where Sherman had collected his stores,
[03:13.249]	And the gunboats' once terrible dimension
[03:16.803]	Floated grandly and proudly at its doors
[03:20.819]	But Forrest's Artillery Battallion
[03:24.409]	Morton, Rice, and Walton, and Croft
[03:27.913]	Set fire to Sherman's gunboats and transports,
[03:31.091]	Nor ceased 'til they had burned them all.
[03:35.016]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[03:38.568]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[03:42.130]	In our hearts he will triumph forever,
[03:45.251]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee!
[03:49.323]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[03:52.821]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
[03:56.367]	In our hearts he will triumph forever,
[03:59.443]	Here's to Forrest from the Brave Tennessee,
