A fight for the mastery.
On the field OF Bull Bun where every one
Was expected to do his duty dpty,
Wss expected to do his duty.
T-s battle had opened in glorious style,
And bullets were whstliDg free;
When our Adjutant gay, sneakes out of the way,
And sat meath neighborins tree, tree, tree
And eat meath neghborng tree
But soon q bombshell exploded near by
Near by to his chosen tree; ~.
And the Adjutant said, he duckeG his sacred head

Un 9 march to join in the melee, melee,
On its .na' ch to in in the melee.
Not halt did he make. not a thought did he give,
Not thought to the brave boys near,
Who would look for his form, mid the dresd battle
Ard ist for his words of cheer, cheer chez,
And list for bis words of cheer.
Bat cf he skedaddled his bacon to save,
Bis bacon to save rushed he
So rapid his srack he soon reached the stack
Ofk-apsacks slowed under q tree, tree, tee,

And here he epsconced him a way from the fght,
Away from the fight stayed he
And swore LIE was dead, with pain in bis head,
And wanted his mother to see, See, see.

He'd pain in his back and each knee
And his face was so white ycE might fancy Alright.
