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, |

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] |

In our hearts he will triumph forever, |
