[00:26.838]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
