Lyrics:
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 'em 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 'em 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 'em 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 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia And Philadelphia
