Until he was bleeding and wounded,

And nary dried up on it then.

While two rifle regiments fought us,

And batteries tumbled us down,

Them cursed Black-Horse fellers charged us,

Like all the Dead Rabbits in town.

And that's just the way with them rebels,

It's ten upon one, or no fair;

But we emptied a few of their saddles—

You may bet all your soap on that air!
