[00:00.15]Was My Brother in the Battle? - Douglas Jimerson
[00:01.27]Composed by：Stephen Foster
[00:10.30]Tell me tell me weary soldier
[00:13.41]From the rude and stirring wars
[00:16.27]Was my brother in the battle
[00:19.01]Where you gained those noble scars
[00:22.09]He was ever brave and valiant
[00:24.94]And I know he never fled
[00:27.77]Was his name among the wounded
[00:31.25]Or numbered with the dead
[00:34.38]Was my brother in the battle
[00:37.53]When the tide of war ran high
[00:40.02]You would know him in a thousand
[00:42.73]By his dark and flashing eye
[00:46.04]Tell me tell me weary soldier
[00:49.22]Will he never come again
[00:52.12]Did he suffer 'mid the wounded
[00:55.46]Did he die among the slain
[01:09.63]Was my brother in the battle
[01:12.27]When the noble Highland host
[01:14.59]Were so wrongfully outnumbered
[01:17.24]On the Carolina coast
[01:19.96]Did he struggle for the Union
[01:22.67]'Mid the thunder and the rain
[01:25.43]Till he fell among the brave
[01:28.04]Upon a bleak Virginia plain
[01:31.63]Oh I'm sure that he was
[01:33.92]Dauntless and his courage ne'er would lag
[01:37.13]While contending for the honor
[01:39.81]Of our dear and cherished flag
[01:43.05]Tell me tell me weary soldier
[01:46.06]Will he never come again
[01:48.81]Did he suffer 'mid the wounded
[01:52.02]Did he die among the slain
[02:05.91]Was my brother in the battle
[02:08.70]When the flag of Erin came
[02:11.43]To the rescue of our banner
[02:14.08]And protection of our fame
[02:16.91]While the fleet from off the
[02:18.92]Waters poured out terror and dismay
[02:22.52]Till the bold and erring foe
[02:25.15]Fell like leaves on Autumn day
[02:28.26]When the bugle called to battle
[02:31.27]And the cannon deeply roared
[02:33.64]Oh I wish I could have seen him
[02:36.54]Draw his sharp and grlittle sword
[02:40.47]Tell me tell me weary soldier
[02:43.90]Will he never come again
[02:46.84]Did he suffer 'mid the wounded
[02:50.29]What die among the slain
