Butler and I went out from camp |
| [00:28.518] |
At Bethel to make a battle |
| [00:30.480] |
And then the south'rons whupped us back |
| [00:32.718] |
Just like a drove of cattle |
| [00:34.668] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [00:36.895] |
You do not find them handy |
| [00:38.567] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [00:40.809] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
| [00:59.526] |
And then we got a monster gun |
| [01:01.480] |
Which gives us satisfaction |
| [01:03.725] |
For seven miles are just the space |
| [01:05.677] |
We Yankees lack in action |
| [01:07.902] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [01:09.862] |
You do not find them handy |
| [01:11.814] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [01:13.767] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
| [01:32.777] |
Whene'er we go out to fight |
| [01:34.740] |
The south'rons give us lickin's |
| [01:36.974] |
But then we strive to get revenge |
| [01:38.928] |
By stealin' all their chickens |
| [01:41.174] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [01:42.851] |
You do not find them handy |
| [01:45.088] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [01:47.041] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
| [02:05.752] |
Oh, Butler stays in Fort Monroe |
| [02:07.705] |
And listens to the firing, |
| [02:09.670] |
And when his men have met defeat |
| [02:11.911] |
Him then goes out inquirin' |
| [02:13.865] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [02:15.810] |
You do not find them handy |
| [02:18.331] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [02:20.009] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
| [02:39.055] |
To say that Butler will not fight |
| [02:41.006] |
Is certainly no scandal |
| [02:42.962] |
For not a trophy has he gained |
| [02:45.197] |
Except an old pump handle |
| [02:47.148] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [02:49.098] |
You do not find them handy |
| [02:51.335] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [02:53.291] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
| [03:03.652] |
Come throw your swords and muskets down; |
| [03:05.609] |
You do not find them handy |
| [03:07.562] |
Although we Yankees cannot fight, |
| [03:09.789] |
At runnin' we're a dandy |
