Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Septimus Winner
[00:11.226] Oh! Kind folks listen to my song
[00:13.734] It is no idle story
[00:16.475] It's all about a volunteer
[00:18.725] Who's goin' to fight for glory!
[00:20.981] Now don't you think that I am right?
[00:23.231] For I am nothing shorter
[00:26.227] And I belong to the fire Zou-Zous
[00:28.235] And don't you think I oughter
[00:30.732] I'm goin' down to Washington
[00:33.228] To fight for Abraham's daughter.
[00:36.235] Oh! Should you ask me who she am
[00:38.476] Columbia is her name, sir
[00:41.484] She is the child of Abraham
[00:43.734] Or Uncle Sam, the same, sir.
[00:45.976] Now if I fight, why ain't I right?
[00:47.985] And don't you think I oughter
[00:50.980] The volunteers are a-pouring in
[00:53.231] From every loyal quarter
[00:55.228] And I'm goin' down to Washington
[00:57.735] To fight for Abraham's daughter.
[01:11.982] They say we have no officers,
[01:14.233] But, ah! They are mistaken
[01:17.228] And soon you'll see the Rebels run,
[01:19.482] With all the fuss they're makin'
[01:21.733] For there is one who just sprung up
[01:23.731] He'll show the foe no quarter
[01:26.727] McClellan is the man I mean
[01:28.980] You know he hadn't oughter
[01:30.978] For he's gone down to Washington
[01:33.485] To fight for Abraham's daughter
[01:37.233] We'll have a spree with Johnny Bull
[01:39.476] Perhaps some day or other
[01:41.985] And won't he have his fingers full
[01:44.234] If not a deal of bother
[01:46.730] For Yankee boys are just the lads
[01:48.984] Upon the land or water
[01:51.734] And won't we have a "bully" fight
[01:53.976] And don't you think we oughter
[01:55.985] If he is caught at any time
[01:58.735] Insulting Abraham's daughter
[02:12.738] But let us lay all jokes aside
[02:15.233] It is a sorry question
[02:17.986] The man who would these states divide
[02:20.237] Should hang for his suggestion
[02:22.479] One country and one flag, I say
[02:24.730] Whoe're the war may slaughter
[02:27.483] So I'm goin' as a fire Zouave
[02:29.733] And don't you think I oughter
[02:31.731] I'm going down to Washington
[02:34.228] To fight for Abraham's daughter
[02:42.982] We'll going down to washington
[02:44.980] To fight for Abraham's daughter!
