歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional arranged by David Kincaid
[00:01.45] When old Virginia took the field
[00:05.84] and wanted men torally on,
[00:10.03] To be at once a sword and shield,
[00:14.47] She formed her First Battalion.
[00:19.00] Although her sons were volunteers,
[00:23.54] And brave as ever bore a brand,
[00:27.93] The good old lady had her fears,
[00:32.31] that they'd prove but weak of hand
[00:39.02] She therefore wisely cast about
[00:43.46] For men of mettle and of mould,
[00:48.05] With nerve of steel and muscle stout,
[00:52.29] Like those that lived in days of old.
[00:56.87] She wanted men of pluck and might,
[01:01.45] Of fiery heart and horny hand,
[01:05.74] To wield a pick as well as fight,
[01:10.08] Or build a breastwork out of sand.
[01:19.37] Or should she march to meet the foe
[01:23.61] That threatened on her western border,
[01:28.30] She wanted willing men to go,
[01:32.62] When told to put her roads in order.
[01:36.96] Or should the Volunteers retreat,
[01:41.44] With baggage that might make them tarry,
[01:45.93] 'Twould blunt the edge of their defeat
[01:50.42] To bear a hand and help them carry.
[01:59.76] Or should some die of fell disease,
[02:03.85] The surgeons having failed to save,
[02:08.35] Sure men who work with so much ease,
[02:12.59] Would volunteer to dig a grave!
[02:17.13] For these, and reasons quite as sound,
[02:21.47] When Old Virginia went to war,
[02:26.15] She circumspectly viewed the ground
[02:30.49] And plumped the middle man from taw!
[03:13.29] In other words, to change the figure,
[03:17.52] When she stood up and took her rifle,
[03:21.96] And put her finger on the trigger,
[03:26.41] She meant to work, and not to trifle.
[03:30.73] And standing thus, yet wanting then
[03:35.32] Some regulars to rally on,
[03:39.76] She took three hundred Irishmen
[03:44.20] And formed her First Battalion.
[03:53.29] And when the storm of battle sweeps,
[03:58.04] Where fiercest foemen sally on,
[04:02.12] There, hard at work, or piled in heaps,
[04:06.45] She'll find her bold Battalion!
