Battle Of Bull Run chords by Johnny Horton

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                    FF         C majorC
The sun shown bright and clear that day we all left Washington

                   FF       C majorC
To lick the Rebel boys in gray at the Battle of Bull Run

                FF       C majorC
They came from Pennsylvania and some from Maryland

                   FF         C majorC
To see the Rebel boys get spanked by Honest Abe's broad hand


                    FF     C majorC
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay

                    FF     C majorC   FF     C majorC
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia and Philadelphia

                      FF       C majorC
The ladies wore their brightest shawls the gentlemen were gay

                  FF        C majorC
They came to see their Yankee boys whip old Virginia

                     FF        C majorC
I held my momma's hand and skipped when a soldier said to me

                       FF        C majorC
Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the sword of Bobbie Lee


                    FF     C majorC
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay

                    FF     C majorC   FF     C majorC
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia and Philadelphia


                    FF         C majorC
And then the general doffed his hat and said let's rest a spell

                     FF      C majorC
And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell

               FF       C majorC
The waters of Manassas creek became a ruby red

                 FF       C majorC
And many a Reb and Yankee boy lay in the willows dead

                    FF     C majorC
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay

                    FF     C majorC   FF     C majorC
But they ran us back to Washington and Philadelphia and Philadelphia


                  FF        C majorC
A augmentedA fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell

                 FF        C majorC
Virginny's true green countryside became a lake of hell

                         FF           C majorC
Don't count your chicks before they're hatched or you'll work until it's done

                FF       C majorC
Remember yes remember long the Battle of Bull Run


                    FF     C majorC
We said we'll run 'em to Atlanta and to Galveston Bay

                    FF     C majorC   FF     C majorC
