- The classic song by Johnny Horton on the first battle in the war between the states. This war was one that everyone thought would be over quick but ended up as the nation's bloodiest war, brother fighting brother.
Before Sabaton, there was Johnny Horton.
r/unpopularopinion here, Johnny Horton>Sabaton.
Im a fan of both
@@chriswhite2151 Yes so am I
…and they both have Bismarck.
@@arfyego0682 Its more like Johnny Horton=Sabaton.
Jonny Horton, Marty Robbins and Tom T Hall were the best story tellers they were.
As were Johnny Cash, Lorne Greene, CW. McCall, and Red Sovine.
Dick Curless told some damn good ones
Mate and Johnny Cash
Jimmy Dean
are the best
Change my mind: Johnny Horton is the only man who can rhyme “Gay” with “Virginia”
now thats funny
Virginians call Virginia “virginny” and “Virgin-Ay-eh”
"The gentlemen were gay..." The word "gay" had a much different meaning in the 1950's than it does today!
Yeahhh there were no gay soldiers in the armies then, cos if there was,,,, most of the men woulda been right onto it!
What did it mean exactly? Just curious
@@perryplayzzz When the late Johnny Horton wrote this song "gay" meant happy and was not the term for homosexuals that it is today.
@@rosskardon7195 oh wow
@@rosskardon7195 Ok thanks
My Great-Great Grandfather, James J Williams fought for NY 24th Infantry Company K at both battles of Bull Run being injured in the second battle. Lay on battlefield for over 24 hours before getting medical treatment. Spent 6 months recovering in a Philadelphia hospital. He then reenlisted to NY 16th Heavy Artillery Company E and his father enlisted with him this time. James then finished out the War. My family has not forgotten Bull Run. 🇺🇲
Your Great-Great Grandfather is a hero of the Union.
@@Beorthere Thank you!
@@Beorthere fuj 🤮
I will never tire of listening to this song!
Me neither!!!,Went to a picnic & saw history.
Battle of Manassas.
❤️🌹🙏
The banjo and guitar and strong drum beat in Hortons biggest hits gets blood flowing . Young people hearing this for the first time are amazed .
If anyone wants to know, the footage is from an old TV series called North and South. It's pretty good, and tells of both sides of the Civil War before, during, and after. It's also book series (with only 3) by John Jakes.
I thought it was from the series THE BLUE AND THE GRAY 1982
@@JCMC57 The only way I was able to tell what it was from was because I am currently watching it since I love history, and I noticed the characters looked all to familiar. But yeah it came from North and South.
Correct.....and I spent several weeks in Natchez where it was filmed, including the Bull Run scenes. If you look very, very closely, I am crossing between the camera and the crowd of civilians on horseback. Of course, you can only see my horse and my legs! Now, if Mr. Kelly had included the scene showing the horseman and his mount standing on the bridge in a Yankee uniform or the civilian rider in checked trousers galloping up the hill with the panicked crowd, he would have done me more justice! Thanks for the laugh! LMAO
great show
@@JCMC57 It is not. It's from North and South.
First and second, Manassas as the two battles of bull run are often called are some of the most interesting of the civil war. The first battle there we’re about 5K casualties between both sides. Which at the time we’re massive losses. A year later at the second battle there were 25k casualties. The war blew way beyond what anyone could have ever thought.
So many years of misinformation and propaganda about the civil war, from both sides, yet this one little song likely depicts the war more accurately than any historian ever has. Winners, losers, thieves and traitors. At the end of the day it was an atrocious, gruesome war which we should hope and pray is never replicated in modern days.
As a guy who prefers Confederate songs, this song is pretty damn bumping.
This is a confederate song
@@fyrdman2185It isn’t
@@The_ProYTOfficial12 the lyrics clearly indicate that, writing from the perspective of a Union soldier feeling cocky and confident but then getting whooped so bad they had to run with their tails between their legs back to Washington and Philadelphia
@@fyrdman2185 We didn’t run away. We merely repositioned our defenses
@@The_ProYTOfficial12 cope but it doesn't matter anyway, you were wrong to say this isn't a pro confederate song when it's clearly making fun of union soldiers running way after getting beaten by the confederates
Imagine underestimating your enemy this bad
Many were so inexperienced. Amateur soldiers.
Viatnam
Even then this battle was a complete clusterfuck the confederates didn’t have a actual uniform so so some confederate soldiers in that battle were wearing blue this battle as I have stated before was a clusterfuck it could’ve swung either way
@@spiritorange8325 And some of the union troops wore gray.
One side won the war 🤷😂 one battle doesn't tell the story
Horton teaches history through music . Very Cool
Too bad Johnny Horton wasn't my History teacher.🤩🤩🤩
Great CIVIL WAR SONG!!
The best
If you don’t already you need to listen to other Johnny Horton songs also and if you like him I suggest you listen to Marty robins also
Whenever I see or hear of the devastation of war it puts me in tears.
so you are overly emotional with no basis. got it.
But there is also much romance and glory in war.
@@Bellephus Because obviously winning land that has been absolutely reduced to rubble is glorious.
@@Alviniumm Yes.
@@Bellephus so pointless killing is glorious?
I really like the use of North and South as the video. It's been one of my favorite mini series since I was a kid.
Bonnie blue flag
Mine too
How do you watch it online?
@@kenlandon6130 that I don't know. I have the series on dvd.
Old country like Marty robins and Jonny Horton is so under rated
Johnny Horton was the Sabaton of yesteryear.
Alright class we are going to Virginia
Girls: OMG I WANNA SEE THE PRESIDENT
Boys:in for the first we heard the awful rebel yell
We were the ones doing the rebel yell
@@waterboyyyyy9523 I’m a union man I know what a rebel yell looks and sounds like
@@thebeastman6668 it sounds like a dying northerner nah in reality It was actually a good battle cry it would scare the Yankees thus lowering morale
@@unknown-dq6df I support the union
I'm only 51 but I heard Johnny Horton. Marty robbins and all the greats cause my dad loved them and I do to. Stories in songs
They’re way to underrated
If history has proven us something, it's that you don't just simply whip old Virginia! 1775-1861, from George Washington to Stonewall Jackson and Bobby Lee!
Yank or Reb,Thank God yall fought for me.🌹😎💯
They were all Americans and deserve to be remembered.
@@dustintaylor1408 agreed with that
Thank the Lord we made up before 1941!!.
@@dustintaylor1408 Confederates fought to destroy America
love how the visuals were from the North and South saga. a good epic masterpiece.
This battle showed it was going to become a bloody war
History books, songs got it right. Lee
Thank You for posting this song. I have never heard until now.
Listen to all of Johnny Horton's stuff. It's great.
Big up yuh self Johnny Horton. You still a give goosebumps in the 21st century and what’s more glorious I’m Jamaican salute to a legend who even predicted his own death.
aint no way my fellow jamaican pro confederate bro must be from cherry gardens
I broke many of Hobbie horses springs to my tube record player and johnny, frankie and Marty. ❤🇺🇸🐢🏝💪
YAY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YAHHHHHHHHH
This is a 19 sixtys song and really hes johny reb by the way im wyte lightin a country rapper from louisiana i got a few southern anthems on the way Dixie pride Dixiestrong and forever Dixie yall stay tune imma have em done sometime this year
This is easily one on my favorite battles of the war. Yank civilians went to watch Johnny Reb lose but they watched Billy yank get his ass kicked.
Only because the damned yankees had a never ending supply of fresh soldiers from all the German and Irish immigrants they drafted, not to mention factories. The damned yankees had twice the number of soldiers we did. Had they not, we would have won. At least we put 365,000 of them in Southern dirt. Proud to say four of my great great grandfathers fought in Turney’s 1st Tennessee and most certainly contributed to a number of damned yankees buried in good old Southern dirt. Thank y’all for fertilizing my rose garden.
And then a few pathetically short years later saw the Rebels hoist the white flag across Dixie land 😁
@@TheIrishvolunteerAye, a few very bloody YEARS, in which hundreds of thousands of yanks lost their lives, paying for every inch of southern soil in a war they bragged would be won 'in a week', only to accomplish nothing as this damned nation nears its second civil conflict, in which tens of millions will die, and the stars and stripes will likely never fly again as an echo of a failed, experimental, and tyrannical state the moment Bearugard opened fire on Yankee occupiers in Fort Sumpter. 😊
@@TheIrishvolunteer Then 160+ years later, leftist simps like you are still crying over the fact we existed, oblivious to the fact that the Unionites would gladly have you face the wall, too.
@@TheIrishvolunteerConfederates with a Union naval blockade, inferior manpower, and agriculture-based economy still ripped up the Lincolnites. Confederacy did extremely well
excellent. herd a lot of Hortons songs but donot recall this one.... nice matching of vid to song.
this is a freakin bop
Never heard anyone put it that way but yeah I guess it is
Agreed completely
We will rise again!
You didn’t even rise the first time!
Fredericksburg!
Fredericksburg!
Fredericksburg!

I love this one; this is the first time I have ever heard it!
The politicians thought the war would end at ol' Bull Run/but they were wrong, so very wrong, yes, every single one! (set to the tune of the song)
Where else can we go with and For Gods. Good new but aback a
Crouss burn side bridge. Right turn clydesdales !
Sabaton ain’t got shit on Johnny, or Marty, those three are the three of a kind, and we will never have something as good
The story telling in this song really was true
Footage from the TV movie North And South
Where is the footage taken from? pls let me know it looks nice.
The mini-series North and South.
@@michaelkelleypoetry Thanks!
"the sword of bobby lee" makes me think of comedian bobby lee
I love the song and also the Mini Series that on this video
Born and raised in the south so thankful the union won.
Agreed. While there are certain aspects that I am in agreement with the Confederacy on, the immorality of slavery is likely the prime reason God raised the North to victory. But, as Jefferson Davis said, "The issue for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form." The South has changed a lot since the Civil War and is much more God-fearing, but the issue of how much authority the Federal Government ought to have over the States and the people is still an issue that freedom loving Americans must contend for.
@@michaelkelleypoetry I agree. I love my home. We have our problems but we keep working at it together. Some people would disagree but it's getting more diverse and it's nice. On my road we have Black, White, Mexicans, and Vietnamese people. I learned Vietnamese people are allot like us. Talk to long grandma will make you dinner possibly everyday lol.
North and South, 10/10
By now i know many more US-American patriot songs than of my own country (no shame in that for me). I can only Imagine the impact the united voices of soldiers in the war of independence and the civil war had on those. What a shame, killing your own men, singing the song you sang before, if i remember the story of the Battle hymn of the repucblic correctly. Maybe just a lifetime civilian romanticize the horrors of war. Sorry for that
Then there are Yankee Doodle, an approach to counter enemy's triumph song that feels just amazing to me
I love my great state of philadelpaeh
A nice song filled with many inaccuracies. The Union troops were not driven back to Philadelphia for crying out loud. Their goal was Richmond, not Atlanta or Galveston Bay! R.E. "Bobby" Lee was not in command at Bull Run. He commanded Confederate troops in western Virginia, a hundred miles away and was an unknown at the time. Lincoln did not order the band to play Dixie out of respect for the Confederate cause. He stated that he regarded the song as war booty held by the Union and "rightly ours." Moreover, the Union troops held the upper hand for most of the battle. It was only the arrival of Joe Johnston's army late in the day on the Union flank which turned the tide. At the start of the battle, many Confederates ran.
as a saxon king witch love this
The Rebs call it the Battle of Manassas (Creek) which is mentioned in the song.
Strange in those days they had partys during battles!! //Lars

Cool
This was before we knew the Confederates weren't fireproof.
Nor was Atlanta
The update patched it though
Manassas but I supposed that would have harder to incorporate into the lyrics.
My favorite part is a fight locked in chest of time Too horrible to tell Virginias cool green country side Became a lake of Hell
Greqt video for this song.
i love this song
johnny is good
I enjoy military history
God bless the confederal State of America🎉, God bless the south🎉, and God bless Texas🎉. The south will rise again and we will get back our independence 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
What’s the plan?
Texas will become communist chud
No you won't lol

Any of yall wnt to hear a Bull Run song from the Confederate POV check out "Flight of Doodles" sung by Tennesee Ernie Ford. It starts out based as f*ck and never stops.
Eh, this guy has nothing on Bobby Horton. Look up "Richmond is a hard road to travel."
@@greyvr4336 Ernie Ford is a legend
@@weego2585 He's a mumbler. Bobby Horton has him beat every day of the weed and twice on sunday.
@@greyvr4336 wth dude. Lol Can't someone enjoy both? To call TN Ernie Ford a mumbler is mad.
@@greyvr4336 Bobby Horton sounds terrible compared to Ernie
johnny horton good singer
Always remember don’t your chicks before their hatched or your work until it’s done. Remember yes remember long the battle of bull run
I wonder why people put their lives at risk doing what they did to me it didn't make sense
What they do to you?
Whoever dislikes this song is wrong
LOL...have to agree!
They got Fs in History.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What is the video from, it looks really good.
Miniseries called North and Sourh
What film is in the video..?
It was a TV mini-series called North and South Book II
Epic
Seriously, Would you rather have the hat of Jeff Davis Or the sword of Bobby Lee?
Sword of Bobby Lee without a doubt
The head of both
Yep
It is true you are green, but they are green as well.

Both sides thought it would be a short war, and both sides were so wrong.
Who in their right mind would watch a battle while there is stray cannon fire!?!
Gabe King It actually happened at the battle of Manassas. The North thought it was going to be a quick little war.
But it happened in other battles as well, that's what I'm saying for both sides. But thanks
Yankees would
Right. Now if you would excuse me, I'm gonna head on out and watch a marathon of north and south. Then just watch a bunch of civil war documentarys....peace out
Right? Was wondering about the random shrapnel of the battlefield hitting some onlookers.
So does anyone know what the movie was when they made the video
north and south, tv series
And then they gave birth to little sabaton.
"The Great Skedaddle"..... must have been a sight to see....lmRao
Where’s the video In the background from.
The mini-series "North and South".
@@michaelkelleypoetry thank you for the information.
The stupid civilians got in the way for the Union soldiers that were falling back.
To Iick the rebel boys in gray, oh behave
wat movies that
wat movie is the vid from?
It is from a show called North and South.
I'd rather have Lee's sword
To be in a Calvary charge. That adrenaline.
Reminds me of this passage from the third book of C.S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy, "That Hideous Strength":
““Maybe that!” said MacPhee. “But maybe they’ll be too many for us this way too. But it would be grand to have one go at them before the end. To tell you the truth I sometimes feel I don’t greatly care what happens. But I wouldn’t be easy in my grave if I knew they’d won and I’d never had my hands on them. I’d like to be able to say as an old sergeant said to me in the first war, about a bit of a raid we did near Monchy. Our fellows did it all with the butt end, you know. ‘Sir,’ says he, ‘did ever you hear anything like the way their heads cracked.’” “I think that’s disgusting,” said Mother Dimble. “That part is, I suppose,” said Camilla. “But . . . oh if one could have a charge in the old style. I don’t mind anything once I’m on a horse.” “I don’t understand it,” said Dimble. “I’m not like you, MacPhee. I’m not brave. But I was just thinking as you spoke that I don’t feel afraid of being killed and hurt as I used to do. Not tonight.” “We may be, I suppose,” said Jane. “As long as we’re all together,” said Mother Dimble. “It might be . . . no, I don’t mean anything heroic . . . it might be a nice way to die.” And suddenly all their faces and voices were changed. They were laughing again, but it was a different kind of laughter. Their love for one another became intense. Each, looking on all the rest, thought, “I’m lucky to be here. I could die with these.” But MacPhee was humming to himself: King William said, Be not dismayed, for the loss of one commander.”
- That Hideous Strength: (Space Trilogy, Book Three) (The Space Trilogy 3) by C. S. Lewis
that war started with cavalry charges.....and ended with trench warfare.
both Fredericksburg and Gettysburg showed the firepower of modern weapons, rifled barrels, multi loading weapons, cannister, Gatling guns, aerial spotters, iron clads, a submarine......
mankind was racing headlong towards WW1.
👍
Is the video part, part of a movie

Crazy to listen to a song about invaders killing my family lol
Sorry they fought on the wrong side.
Invaders?
a napoleonic war fought with modern weapons
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Does anyone know what unit wore the red uniform at 1:23?
I believe they are supposed to be the 11th New York Zouaves. I could be wrong though.
@@vintageadventure-l6mYou are most likely right
1st Minnesota probably
They better be glade we ran out of supplies because the south would have it made and Hank Jr would be president lol 😆
Is this confederate or unionist song?
Niko Debeljak Johnny Horton did well in all his songs in not being too disrespectful of either side. This particular song is probably more Confederate, but his song Young Abe Lincoln is more Union. The civil war was brother fighting brother and Horton always did well in his music in bringing the two back together.
Johnny reb was a yankee song. A yankee expressing respect for the men he faced on the battlefield and how he admired their courage
This song is from a union few. He tells of how they went to run of the confederates but they were ran back to washington instead.
Christopher Smith Well it’s not a confederate or federal song the song is just talking about don’t count your eggs before they’re hatched essentially. Because the north thought they were going run the rebels out but they were themselves were turned back and ran into Washington. So it’s kinda a song from a northern perspective at the first half but it’s not taking any sides because later on in the song talks about how both sides lost men and families were destroyed. See what I’m getting at?
Flight of Doodles (Bull Run song, Tennesee Ernie Ford) is 100% Confederate POV
0:47 well...
Gay back then wasn't used in the modern way, it meant then happy or cheery.
