The Battle of Bull Run
The sun shown bright and clear that dayWe all left WashingtonTo lick the Rebel boys in grey At the Battle of Bull RunThey came from Pennsylvania and some from MarylandTo see the Rebel boys get spanked by Honest Abe's broad handWe said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston BayBut they ran us back to Washington and PhiladelphiaAnd PhiladelphiaThe ladies wore their brightest shawlsThe gentlemen were gayThey came to see their Yankee boys WHIP old VirginiaI held my momma's hand and skippedWhen a soldier said to meWould you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the sword of Bobbie LeeWe said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston BayBut they ran us back to Washington and PhiladelphiaAnd PhiladelphiaAnd then the general doffed his hat and said let's rest a spellBefore the first and we all heard that awful rebel yellThe waters of Manasas creek became a ruby redMany a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows deadLetras de cancionesWe said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston BayBut they ran us back to Washington and PhiladelphiaAnd PhiladelphiaA fight locked in the jest of time too horrible to tellVirginny's true green countryside became a lake of hellDon't count your chicks before they're hatchedOr you'll work until it's doneRemember yes remember long the Battle of Bull RunWe said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston BayBut they ran us back to Washington and PhiladelphiaAnd Philadelphia
