[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
