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