The Wearing of The Grey歌词

作曲 : Traditional
Oh have you heard the cruel news?
Alas, it is too true:
From Appomatox Courthouse,
Went down a cross of Blue!
Our armies have surrendered
We fell to the Northern sway
Forevermore forbidden is the wearing of the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
Forevermore forbidden is the wearing of the Gray!
No more, on fields of battle,
waves the banner of our pride
In vain, beneath the Crimson Folds,
Our Stuart and Jackson died.
Like a meteor of the evening,
That flag has passed away,
And low are they who guarded it, the Wearers of the Gray.
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
And low are they who guarded it, the Wearers of the Gray.
Remember how we scattered them,
Beneath the Mountains old
And how we tossed the powers of strong,
The valor of the bold!
We flung them through the bloody gap,
Alongst we bled the way.
Remember this and never forsake the wearing of the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
Remember this and never forsake the wearing of the Gray!
We have lost all but honor,
Our green banners have no shame.
Though beaten down by numbers,
We keep our ancient fame.
Though exiles from old Ireland,
We in our homes will stay.
We'll not forget our own dear land and proudly wear the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
We'll not forget our own dear land and proudly wear the Gray!
Now honor to the soldier
Who still is firm and true,
and shame upon the Southern man
Who wears the coat of Blue!
While around the Blue Ridge Mountains,
An evening mess shall play.
We like the mountains never leave the wearing of the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
We like the mountains never leave the wearing of the Gray!
Now here's to the Confederacy
And comrades, true, who died!
In the forefront of the battle,
The Irish would not hide!
When the Crimson Banner floats again,
no more to pass away,
Let a token of her victory be the wearing of the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
Let a token of her victory be the wearing of the Gray!
For the wearing of the Gray, for the wearing of the Gray,
Let a token of her victory be the wearing of the Gray!编辑于2024/02/09更新
