Battle Of Bull Run Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Horton

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 â??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 â??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 

Before the first and we all heard that awful rebel yell 

The waters of Manasas creek became a ruby red 

Many a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows dead 

We said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay 

But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia 

And Philadelphia

A fight locked in the jest of time too horrible to tell

Remember yes remember long the Battle of Bull Run 

We said we'll run â??em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay 

But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia
