[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,
