The Cumberland Crew
Oh! shipmates, come rally, and join in my ditty.
Of a terrible battle that happened of late;
Let each good Union-Tar shed a tear of sad pity,
As he listens to the once gallant Cumberland's fate.
It was the Eighth day of March told a terrible story.
And many a tar to this world bid adieu!
But our flag it was wrapt in a mantle of glory, By the heroic deeds of the Cumberlands crew...
On that ill-fated day about ten in the morning, The sky it was clear, and bright shone the sun; The drums of the Cumberland sounded a warning, Bidding each gallant seaman to stand by his gun. An iron-clad frigate down on us came bearing.
While high in the air a rebel flag flew; pennant of treason she proudly was waving.
Determined to conquer the Cumberland's crew.
So our noble ship fired her guns' dreadful thunder. Her broad-sides, like hail, on the Rebels did pour; But our sailors gazed on, filled with terror and wonder- As the shots struck her sides and glanced harmlessly forth But the pride of our navy could never be daunted,
Tho' the dead and the dying her deck they did strew; 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 And the flag of our Union how proudly she flaunted. Sus tained by the blood of the Cumberland's crew.
Electric and Drum Solo:
3 hours we fought them with stern reso lution, Till the rebels found cannon could never de cide; The flag of secession had no power to gall them, Tho' the blood from their scuppers it crimson'd the tide,
As they struck us on mid-ship, our planks she did sever, Her sharp iron prong pierced our noble ship And still, though she splintered and twisted hard over, We'll die at our guns! cried the Cumberland's crew.
Softly...
So slowly they sank 'Neath Virginia's dark waters, Their voices on earth will ne'er be heard more They'll be mourned by Columbia's brave sons and fair daughters! May their blood be avenged on Virginia's shore!-
In their battle-stained graves they are silently lying-
Their souls have forever to each bid adieu!
But the star-spangled banner above them is still flying;
For it was nailed to the mast by the Cumberland's crew.
