《All Quiet Along The Potomac》歌词

[00:00:00] All Quiet Along The Potomac - The Union Confederacy

[00:00:04] All quiet along the Potomac tonight

[00:00:14] All quiet along the Potomac tonight

[00:00:18] Except here and there a stray picket

[00:00:23] Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro

[00:00:27] By a rifleman hid in the thicket

[00:00:32] 'Tis nothing a private or two now and then

[00:00:36] Will not count in the news of the battle;

[00:00:41] Not an officer lost only one of the men

[00:00:46] Moaning out all alone the death rattle

[00:00:55] "All quiet along the Potomac tonight "

[00:01:06] There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread

[00:01:11] As he tramps for the rock to the fountain

[00:01:15] And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed

[00:01:20] Far away in the cot on the mountain

[00:01:25] His musket falls slack

[00:01:27] His face dark and grim

[00:01:30] Grows gentle with memories tender

[00:01:34] As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep

[00:01:39] And their Mother may heaven defend her

[00:01:50] "All quiet along the Potomac tonight "

[00:02:01] Hark Was it the night wind that rustled the leaves

[00:02:05] Was it moonlight so wondrously flashing

[00:02:10] It looks like a rifle Ah Mary good bye

[00:02:15] And the lifeblood is ebbing and splashing

[00:02:19] All quiet along the Potomac tonight

[00:02:24] No sound save the rush of the river

[00:02:29] While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead

[00:02:34] The picket's off duty forever

[00:02:45] All quiet along the Potomac tonight
