向喬治亞州進軍

亚历山大·海·里奇 (Alexander Hay Ritchie)所创作的版画，描绘了雪曼向大海進軍。

向喬治亞州進軍 (英語：Marching Through Georgia） 又名「Marching Thru' Georgia」或「Marching Thro Georgia 」是亨利·克萊·沃克在1865年南北戰爭結束時創作的一首進行曲。這首歌的標題與歌詞是指美國陸軍少將雪曼的“雪曼向大海進軍”，攻占了佐治亞州的薩凡納。

歷史

南北內戰後，這首歌在聯邦軍退伍軍人中廣受歡迎。該歌以一名聯邦士兵的角度，講述著穿越喬治亞洲、釋放奴隸、和再次看到美國國旗的南方聯邦士兵發動戰爭的故事。

一张 20 世纪早期的明信片，上面有这首歌。

戰後，在美國南部，特別是喬治亞州，前聯邦士兵和南方人認為這首歌是美國軍隊和政府在戰爭期間，對前聯邦和南方各州造成過度破壞和政治統治的象徵。謝爾曼本人也不喜歡這首歌，部分原因是在他參加的每一次公開露面中幾乎都會播放這首歌。這首歌甚至在他的葬禮上也播放。在美國南部以外的地區，這首歌有著廣泛的吸引力：日軍進入旅順港時唱著這首歌，駐印度的英軍也唱著這首歌，二戰期間，一個英國小鎮也用這首歌曲歡迎美國軍隊。

1. Bring the good old bugle, boys
We’ll sing another song
Sing it with a spirit that will
Start the world along
Sing it as we used to sing it
Fifty thousand strong
While we were marching through Georgia

2. How the darkeys shouted when
They heard the joyful sound
How the turkeys gobbled
Which our commissary found
How the sweet potatoes even
Started from the ground
While we were marching through Georgia

3. Yes, and there were Union men
Who wept with joyful tears
When they saw the honor’d flag
They had not seen for years
Hardly could they be restrained
From breaking forth in cheers
While we were marching through Georgia

4. “Sherman’s dashing Yankee boys
Will never reach the coast!”
So the saucy rebels said
And ’twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas
To reckon with the host
While we were marching through Georgia

5. So we made a thoroughfare
For Freedom and her train
Sixty miles in latitude
Three hundred to the main
Treason fled before us
For resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia

合唱:
“Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!”
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia
