ZOUAVE JOHNNY FROM BULL RUN. 11
And if that great man was alive, I tell you you'd see fun, For he would show Jeff Davis that he could take Bull Run.
Come, boys, etc.
If the-papers would mind their business, and people hold
their tongues, The soldiers down at that great fight would never had to
run; y They thought that Scott was long-winded, and that he was
not right; But if^old Scott had been left alone, Bull Run would have
been all right. Come, boys, etc/
The Seventy-first fought well—the Seventy-ninth did too; The Sixty-ninth they were around, and the Fourteenth
wasn't slow; But the gallant New York Fire Zouaves shall never be
forgot, For they wolloped the Black-Horse Cavalry, and only left
six of the lot.
Come, boys, etc. |

ZOUAVE JOHNNY FROM BULL RUN. Written and sung by W. S. Budworth.
Come all you soldiers, so fearless and brave,
Come listen to my ditty; For I belong to the Fire Zouaves,
That started from New York city. "We left our families and all our friends— To save the Union I shouldered my gun; And what I tell you I know is so,
For I'm Zouave Johnny from Bull Run.
That good old man, brave General Scott,
Has retired from the army; And General McClellan then took his place.
Although the times- looked stormy. 2* |
