Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Septimus Winner
[00:08.201] Her true love is a soldier
[00:10.160] In the army now today,
[00:12.493] It was this cruel war that made him
[00:14.357] Have to go away,
[00:16.509] The draft it was that took him,
[00:18.182] And it was a heavy blow,
[00:20.424] It took him for a Conscript,
[00:22.244] But he didn't want to go.
[00:24.524] He's gone—Hes gone
[00:26.438] As meek as any lamb,
[00:28.448] They took him, yes, they took him,
[00:30.220] To the Arms of Abraham.
[00:32.504] He's gone—Hes gone
[00:34.427] As meek as any lamb,
[00:36.485] They took him, yes, they took him,
[00:38.172] To the Arms of Abraham.
[00:40.407] He's gone to be a soldier,
[00:42.225] With a knapsack on his back,
[00:44.557] A fightin' for the Union
[00:46.237] And a livin' on "hard tack"
[00:48.479] Oh how he look'd like Christian,
[00:50.345] In the Pilgrim's Progress shown,
[00:52.499] With a bundle on his shoulders
[00:54.410] But with nothin' of his own.
[00:56.558] He's gone—Hes gone
[00:58.517] As meek as any lamb,
[01:00.618] They took him, yes, they took him,
[01:02.293] To the Arms of Abraham.
[01:04.667] He's gone—Hes gone
[01:06.573] As meek as any lamb,
[01:08.671] They took him, yes, they took him,
[01:10.437] To the Arms of Abraham.
[01:20.683] Oh should he meet a rebel,
[01:22.505] A pointin' with his gun,
[01:24.888] I hope he may have courage
[01:26.521] To "take care of number one"
[01:28.861] If I were him I'd offer,
[01:30.923] The fellow but a dram,
[01:32.910] For what's the use of dying,
[01:34.696] Just for Jeff. or Abraham.
[01:36.798] He's gone—Hes gone
[01:38.807] As meek as any lamb,
[01:40.864] They took him, yes, they took him,
[01:42.593] To the Arms of Abraham.
[01:44.883] He's gone—Hes gone
[01:46.892] As meek as any lamb,
[01:48.901] They took him, yes, they took him,
[01:50.673] To the Arms of Abraham.
[01:57.159] They took him, yes, they took him,
[01:59.032] To the Arms of Abraham.
