Battle of Bull Run

	The sun shown bright and clear that day
	We all left Washington
	To lick the Rebel boys in grey
	At the Battle of Bull Run
	They came from Pennsylvania and some from Maryland
	To see the Rebel boys get spanked by Honest Abe's broad hand
	We said we'll run âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
	But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia
	And Philadelphia
	The ladies wore their brightest shawls
	The gentlemen were gay
	They came to see their Yankee boys WHIP old Virginia
	I held my momma's hand and skipped
	When a soldier said to me
	Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the sword of Bobbie Lee
	We said we'll run âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
	But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia
	And Philadelphia
	And then the general doffed his hat and said let's rest a spell
	And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell
	The waters of MANASSAS creek became a ruby red
	and many a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows dead
	We said we'll run âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
	But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia
	And Philadelphia
	A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
	Virginny's true green countryside became a lake of hell
	Don't count your chicks before they're hatched
	Or you'll work until it's done
	Remember yes remember long the Battle of Bull Run
	We said we'll run âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
	But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia
	And Philadelphia
