| [00:25.274] | Good evening, kind friends, how do you all do? |
| [00:28.914] | 'Tis a very long time since I've been to see you |
| [00:32.568] | I am a volunteer for the Union I go |
| [00:37.340] | And I'm down on Secession, is Billy Barlow |
| [00:41.263] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I well know |
| [00:45.746] | But a bully old soldier is Billy Barlow |
| [00:50.253] | Since last I saw you, to Richmond I've been |
| [00:53.905] | And during my stay Mrs. Davis I've seen |
| [00:57.566] | She treated me kindly, and smiled on me so |
| [01:02.344] | Old Jeff, he got jealous of Billy Barlow |
| [01:06.274] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I well know |
| [01:10.768] | But the ladies all like Mr. William Barlow |
| [01:40.531] | Now I see on picket every time I go out |
| [01:44.190] | A nice little gal her name is Lize Stout |
| [01:47.852] | They say she's Secеsh, but I know that's not so |
| [01:52.643] | For she'll stand by the Union with Billy Barlow |
| [01:56.581] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I wеll know |
| [02:01.076] | But a very good fellow is Billy Barlow |
| [02:05.869] | Now there's one thing I can't help but to look at |
| [02:09.245] | What keeps our Quartermaster so sleek and so fat |
| [02:12.914] | It may not be good living but there's one thing I know |
| [02:17.716] | He'd get thin on the grub he gives Billy Barlow |
| [02:21.661] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I well know |
| [02:25.868] | But I'm used to good living, is Billy Barlow |
| [02:55.909] | It's down in Virginia at a place called Bull Run |
| [02:59.564] | Where first our brave soldiers, their fighting begun |
| [03:03.221] | It's true they got routed but then you all know |
| [03:07.722] | It was on account of the absence of Billy Barlow |
| [03:12.233] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I well know |
| [03:16.173] | But a bully old soldier is Billy Barlow |
| [03:20.942] | Just a few words more than I shall have done |
| [03:24.606] | And I hope what I've said you will take all in fun |
| [03:28.258] | If I have not done right, why, please tell me so |
| [03:32.770] | And I'll bid you good night will Billy Barlow |
| [03:36.996] | Oh, yes, I'm rough, I well know |
| [03:41.490] | But I hope you'll excuse Mr. old Billy Barlow |
