July the 21st it was, the year of '61
We met them at Manassas, but they called it Ol' [bad word] Ol' Patterson had orders our armies should not meet
But Johnston slipped around him ensuring his defeat
 [bad word] 
So I'll lay ten dollars down and count them one by one
If you just show me the man that (whipped?) general Patterson

The yanks were in Virginia, McDowell at [bad word] As fine a yankee officer as any in the land
The cry of on to Richmond was heard from every mouth
Except they didn't reckon with the army of the South
 [bad word] 
When Johnston reinforced us and met with Beauregard
Ol' Patterson was troubled and took it very hard
For Stonewall Jackson's forces were there to give him pain
His army was defeated, his charge was all in vain
