 pT BIG BETHEL FMT. 
 
 Avvftil Calamity. 
 
 AIR— "Dixie." 
 
 I'll tell you of a tale that lately befel, 
 
 And the place where it happened waa big Bethel, 
 
 Keep away, keep away, keep away you crop eared 
 
 Knaves, 
 Magruder peppered away like the devil, 
 'Till Pierce began home to travel. 
 Run away, run away, ye crop earod knaves, 
 You never can win Dixie, 
 You never shall win Dixie, 
 Unless you'll die in Dixie, 
 Run away ye crop eared knaves. 
 
 The Dutchmen and the Trojans met. 
 The Dutchmen made the Yankees sweat, 
 Keep awjiy, &c. &c. 
 
 When to learn the Du:}ch they soon began, 
 There own Zouaves shot them as they ran, 
 Run away, &c. 
 
 Soon they rallied and marched on. 
 
 The Dutch men bragging what they done, 
 
 Keep away, &c. 
 
 Talking loudly of what fun, 
 
 T'would be to see Magruder run, 
 
 Run ftway, &c. 
 
 Then Greble mounted on a gun, 
 And swore he first would see the fun, 
 Keep away, &c. 
 But very soon a cannon ball. 
 Upon bis head quite soft did fall. 
 Run away, &c. 
 
 While still they heard the cannons roar, 
 
 Still through their ranks the shot now tore. 
 
 Keep away, &c. 
 
 Attacked in front and tlank and rear, 
 
 Nor enemy in sight, but panic fear, 
 
 Run away, &c. 
 
 Siezed Peirce, who thought he'd done 
 
 Enough for courage so he'd run, 
 
 Run away, &c. 
 
 Mrtgruder sent a shot or two. 
 
 To help them, so away the dew, 
 
 Run ri'-.vay, &c^
