[00:00.000] 作曲 : Eliza Gilkyson
[00:07.105]Jedidiah out in the snow
[00:10.222]Walkin' the frozen trenchlines
[00:13.344]Wet boots and his wool coat comin' apart at the seams.
[00:19.853]Rations of hard-baked dough,
[00:22.693]Handfuls of melting snow
[00:25.527]What else can a man live on but his dreams?
[00:31.483]
[00:32.619]Not twenty miles away,
[00:35.167]in the mansions of Philadelphia,
[00:37.712]Loyalists lay their money down on the king.
[00:44.794]We've provision enough for the day,
[00:47.628]but if victory were just for the wealthy
[00:50.739]Our noble cause wouldn't be worth the hardship we're suffering.
[00:55.843]
[00:57.545]Send the cloth for a good waistcoat,
[01:00.944]I dream of your hearth and the fields of oat.
[01:04.615]I awake to the drum and the trembling note of the fifer.
[01:11.660]May it please God in His great mercy,
[01:15.321]To shelter our friends and our family.
[01:18.441]I remain your son most faithfully,
[01:22.122]——Jedidiah
[01:24.953]
[01:29.772]I have seen a man, who has seen a man
[01:34.021]who has heard the king,
[01:36.002]Tell of his intention our independence to declare.
[01:43.083]The peace will undoubtedly bring
[01:45.922]A great revolution in commerce;
[01:48.757]May it be our rightful fortune to come in for a share.
[01:55.263]
[01:55.825]My regards to a certain Miss Moore,
[01:59.234]I've stated my honorable intentions for her;
[02:02.637]That upon my return from this necessary war she'll be my wife.
[02:09.714]May it please God in His great mercy
[02:13.394]to restore the joys of domesticity.
[02:17.083]Salutations to the family,
[02:20.481]——Jedidiah
[02:27.003]
[02:49.370]I rejoice that the cause we're engaged in
[02:53.051]is in the hands of an Almighty Sovereign;
[02:56.172]Who I doubt not is accomplishing the ends of His desire.
[03:03.544]My love to you and the fair Miss Moore;
[03:07.505]Spare me a bottle from the cellar store,
[03:10.907]and in my name let the contents pour,
[03:14.581]——Jedidiah
