YANKEE DOODLE.

---

Father and I went down to camp, along with Captain Goodwin,
And there we saw the men and boys as thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy.

And there was Captain Washington, upon a slapping stallion,
A-giving orders to his men—I guess there was a million.

Yankee Doodle, &c.

And there they had a swamping gun, as big as a log of maple,
On a deuced little cart—a load for father's cattle.

Yankee Doodle, &c.

But I can't tell you half I see, they kept up such a smother:
So I took my hat off, made a bow, and scampered home to mother.

Yankee Doodle, &c.
