Incident At Ebenezer Creek Lyrics – Jack Hardy
Singer: Jack Hardy
Title: Incident At Ebenezer Creek
Well, the creek lies swollen before us
And the bridge is a slippery span
The guard with the Springfield rifle
Is barring our freedom plan
For days we have followed the wagons
With all we own on our backs
That long blue winding dragon
With fire and death in its track
But the pontoon bridge is gone
For us these bummers meant freedom
That promise made good at last
That four-score-seven-year promise
Why then do they turn us back?
They have warned us not to follow
Too close behind their guns
That the fighting up front is heavy
When it hasn’t even begun
But the pontoon bridge is gone
Some say the avenging angel
Has turned upon his own
That all this talk of freedom
Is just Sherman’s marching song
And some are pleading Jesus
Asking what have they done wrong
Running up and down that river bank
And flailing their arms in song
But the pontoon bridge is gone
And Sherman’s troops have gone
And some soldiers disobey orders
To help build rafts of logs
But they sink as oft as float
And time is running out
And rumors of Wheeler’s cavalry
To ship us back to the farms
Or shoot us here right where we stand
Helpless and unarmed
But the pontoon bridge is gone
And Sherman’s troops have gone
Well, the camp lies now in embers
Newspapers all been read
And talk of a change in Washington
Of a dream shot through the head
And some say Ebenezer
Is a cursed name for a creek
And some say Jefferson Davis
Is a blessed name to speak
But the pontoon bridge is gone
And Sherman’s troops have gone
And freedom now has gone

Incident At Ebenezer Creek – Terjemahan / Translation
Nah, sungai itu terbengkal di depan kita
Dan jembatannya adalah rentang yang licin
Penjaga dengan senapan Springfield
Apakah kecuali rencana kebebasan kita
Selama berhari -hari kami telah mengikuti gerbong
Dengan semua yang kita miliki di punggung kita
Naga berliku biru panjang itu
Dengan api dan mati di jalurnya
Tapi jembatan ponton hilang
Bagi kami, gelandangan ini berarti kebebasan
Janji itu akhirnya menjadi bagus
Janji empat skor-tujuh tahun itu
Lalu mengapa mereka mengembalikan kita?
Mereka telah memperingatkan kami untuk tidak mengikuti
Terlalu dekat di belakang senjata mereka
Bahwa pertempuran di depan itu berat
Saat bahkan belum dimulai
Tapi jembatan ponton hilang
Ada yang mengatakan malaikat pembalas
Telah berbalik sendiri
Bahwa semua pembicaraan tentang kebebasan ini
Hanyalah lagu berbaris Sherman
Dan beberapa memohon Yesus
Bertanya apa yang telah mereka lakukan salah
Berlari naik turun tepi sungai itu
Dan mengepalai lengan mereka dalam lagu
Tapi jembatan ponton hilang
Dan pasukan Sherman telah pergi
Dan beberapa tentara tidak mematuhi perintah
Untuk membantu membangun rakit kayu
Tapi mereka tenggelam seperti float
Dan waktu hampir habis
Dan rumor kavaleri Wheeler
Untuk mengirim kami kembali ke pertanian
Atau tembak kami di sini tepat di tempat kami berdiri
Tidak berdaya dan tidak bersenjata
Tapi jembatan ponton hilang
Dan pasukan Sherman telah pergi
Nah, kamp sekarang terletak di bara
Surat kabar semua telah dibaca
Dan berbicara tentang perubahan di Washington
Dari tembakan mimpi di kepala
Dan ada yang mengatakan ebenezer
Adalah nama terkutuk untuk sungai
Dan ada yang mengatakan Jefferson Davis
Adalah nama yang diberkati untuk berbicara
Tapi jembatan ponton hilang
Dan pasukan Sherman telah pergi
Dan kebebasan sekarang telah hilang
