The battle of bull run - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
Written by:Payne[00:00:01]
The sun shone bright and clear that day[00:00:10]
We all left Washington[00:00:13]
To lick the rebel boys in grey[00:00:15]
At the battle of bull run[00:00:17]
They came from Pennsylvania and some from Maryland[00:00:20]
To see the rebel boys get spanked by[00:00:25]
Honest Abe s broad hand[00:00:28]
We said we'll run em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay[00:00:30]
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia[00:00:36]
And Philadelphia[00:00:41]
The ladies wore their brightest shawls[00:00:45]
The gentlemen were gay[00:00:47]
They came to see their Yankee boys whip old Virginia[00:00:50]
I held my momma's hand and skipped[00:00:55]
When a soldier said to me[00:00:57]
Would you rather have Jeff Davis hat or the sword of Bobbie Lee[00:01:00]
We said we'll run em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay[00:01:05]
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia[00:01:11]
And Philadelphia[00:01:16]
And then the general doffed his hat and said let's rest a spell[00:01:20]
And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell[00:01:25]
The waters of Massasoit creek became a Ruby red[00:01:30]
And many a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows dead[00:01:34]
We said we'll run em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay[00:01:40]
But they run us back to Washington and Philadelphia[00:01:45]
And Philadelphia[00:01:50]
A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell[00:01:54]
Virginny's cool green countryside became a lake of hell[00:01:59]
Don't count your chicks before they're hatched[00:02:04]
Or your work until it's done[00:02:07]
Remember yes remember long the battle of bull run[00:02:09]
We said we'll run em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay[00:02:15]
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia[00:02:20]
And Philadelphia[00:02:25]
