[Verse]
 D G D
The sun shown bright and clear that day, we all left Washing- ton
 D G D
To lick the Rebel boys in grey at the Battle of Bull Run
 D G D
They came from Pennsylvania and some from Mary- land
 D G D
To see the Rebel boys get spanked by Honest Abe's broad hand

 D Bm
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
 D G D
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphi- a
 G D
And Philadelphi- a

 D G D
The ladies wore their brightest shawls, the gentlemen were gay
 G D
They came to see their Yankee boys WHIP old Virgini- a
 D G D
I held my momma's hand and skipped, when a soldier said to me
 D D D
Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the sword of Bobbie Lee

 D Bm
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
 D G D
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphi- a
 G D
And Philadelphi- a

 D G D
And then the general doffed his hat and said let's rest a spell
 D G D
And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell
 D G D
The waters of MANASSAS creek be- came a ruby red
 D G D
And many a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows dead

 D Bm
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
 D G D
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphi- a
 G D
And Philadelphi- a

 D G D
A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
 D G D
Vir- ginny's true green countryside be- came a lake of hell
 D G D
Don't count your chicks before they're hatched or you'll work until it's done
 D G D
Re- member yes remember long the Battle of Bull Run

 D Bm
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay
 D G D
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphi- a
 G D G D D A D
And Philadelphi- a
