We said we'll run âem 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 âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia And Philadelphia

We said we'll run âem 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 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 âem to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia And PhiladelphiaTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
