Song Lyrics

we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
They came to see their yankee boys whip old virginia, to lick the rebel boys in grey, and philadelphia
a fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
The sun shown bright and clear that day, i held my momma s hand and skipped Johnny, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay

when a soldier said to me would you rather have jeff davis hat or the sword of bobbie lee
A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell, and for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell
Or you ll work until it s done, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
and philadelphia
but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia

A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell, i held my momma s hand and skipped The, we all left washington
At the battle of bull run, but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
when a soldier said to me would you rather have jeff davis hat or the sword of bobbie lee
the ladies wore their brightest shawls
we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay

We all left washington, don t count your chicks before they re hatched, the sun shown bright and clear that day
and philadelphia
But they ran us back to washington and philadelphia, and philadelphia
A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell, and many a reb and yankee boy lay in the willows dead, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
And philadelphia, i held my momma s hand and skipped, and for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell

And many a reb and yankee boy lay in the willows dead, at the battle of bull run
to see the rebel boys get spanked by honest abe s broad hand
And then the general doffed his hat and said let s rest a spell, the ladies wore their brightest shawls
They came to see their yankee boys whip old virginia, virginny s true green countryside became a lake of hell, the gentlemen were gay
But they ran us back to washington and philadelphia, and then the general doffed his hat and said let s rest a spell

But they ran us back to washington and philadelphia, the waters of manassas creek became a ruby red
The waters of manassas creek became a ruby red, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
and then the general doffed his hat and said let s rest a spell
the gentlemen were gay
we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay

they came to see their yankee boys whip old virginia
the waters of manassas creek became a ruby red
And philadelphia, but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia Johnny, and many a reb and yankee boy lay in the willows dead
To lick the rebel boys in grey, they came to see their yankee boys whip old virginia
The sun shown bright and clear that day, and philadelphia, and philadelphia

to lick the rebel boys in grey
a fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
And then the general doffed his hat and said let s rest a spell, don t count your chicks before they re hatched Horton, the waters of manassas creek became a ruby red
the ladies wore their brightest shawls
we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay

and for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell
And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell, but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia, they came to see their yankee boys whip old virginia
remember yes remember long the battle of bull run
a fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
We said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay, and philadelphia, and philadelphia

Virginny s true green countryside became a lake of hell, we said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay
They came from pennsylvania and some from maryland, but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia Run, a fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell
We said we ll run em to atlanta and to galveston bay, but they ran us back to washington and philadelphia
Virginny s true green countryside became a lake of hell, virginny s true green countryside became a lake of hell
and philadelphia
