Johnny Horton - Battle of bull run

^CThe sun shown bright and clear that day ^Fwe all left Washing^Cton To lick the Rebel boys in gray at the ^FBattle of Bull ^CRun

They came from Pennsylvania and ^Fsome from Mary^Cland To see the Rebel boys get spanked by ^FHonest Abe's broad ^Chand

We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to ^FGalveston ^CBay But they ran us back to Washington and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca

The ladies wore their brightest shawls the ^Fgentlemen were ^Cgay They came to see their Yankee boys ^Fwhip old Virgini^Ca

I held my momma's hand and skipped when a ^Fsoldier said to ^Cme Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the ^Fsword of Bobbie ^CLee

We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to ^FGalveston ^CBay But they ran us back to Washington and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca

And then the general doffed his hat and ^Fsaid let's rest a ^Cspell And for the first time we all heard that ^Fawful rebel ^Cyell

The waters of Manassas creek ^Fbecame a ruby ^Cred And many a Reb and Yankee boy lay ^Fin the willows ^Cdead

We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to ^FGalveston ^CBay But they ran us back to Washington and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca

A fight locked in the chest of time ^Ftoo horrible to ^Ctell Virginny's true green countryside ^Fbecame a lake of ^Chell

Don't count your chicks before they're hatched or ^Fyou'll work until it's ^Cdone Remember yes remember long the ^FBattle of Bull ^CRun

We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to ^FGalveston ^CBay But they ran us back to Washington and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca and ^FPhiladelphi^Ca
