[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional Song
[00:05.045] Our Jimmy has gone for to live in a tent,
[00:08.127] They have grafted him into the army;
[00:10.928] He finally pucker'd up courage and went,
[00:14.013] When they grafted him into the army.
[00:17.095] I told them the child was too young, alas!
[00:20.461] At the captain's fore-quarters, they said he would pass—
[00:23.547] They'd train him up well in the infantry class —
[00:27.750] So they grafted him into the army.
[00:30.556] Oh Jimmy farewell! Your brothers fell
[00:32.793] Way down in Alabarmy:
[00:35.031] I thought they would sparea lone widder's heir,
[00:38.598] But they grafted him into the army.
[00:46.653] Dressed up in his unicorn — dear little chap;
[00:50.302] They have grafted him into the army;
[00:53.386] It seems but a day since he sot in my lap,
[00:56.472] But they grafted him into the army,
[00:59.825] And these are the trousers he used to wear —
[01:02.920] Them very same buttons — the patch and the tear
[01:06.562] But Uncle Sam gave him a bran new pair
[01:10.482] When they grafted him into the army.
[01:13.562] Oh Jimmy farewell! Your brothers fell
[01:15.797] Way down in Alabarmy:
[01:18.038] I thought they would sparea lone widder's heir,
[01:21.885] But they grafted him into the army.
[01:29.942] Now in my provisions I see him revealed —
[01:33.303] They have grafted him into the army;
[01:36.378] A picket beside the contented field,
[01:39.733] They have grafted him into the army.
[01:43.382] He looks kinder sickish — begins to cry
[01:47.862] A big volunteer standing right in his eye!
[01:52.061] Oh what if the ducky should up and die
[01:57.934] Now they've grafted him into the army.
[02:00.737] Oh Jimmy farewell! Your brothers fell
[02:03.263] Way down in Alabarmy:
[02:05.503] I thought they would sparea lone widder's heir,
[02:08.865] But they grafted him into the army.
[02:11.950] Oh Jimmy farewell! Your brothers fell
[02:13.905] Way down in Alabarmy:
[02:16.425] I thought they would sparea lone widder's heir,
[02:20.062] But they grafted him into the army.
