Two songs entitled Yankee Doodle/Yankee Doodle No. 2
YANKEE DOODLE, NO. 2
Ye gallant sons of Liberty,
Who bravely have defended
Your country's right, by land or sea,
And to her cause attended.
Yankee Doodle is the tune
The Americans delight in.
It will do to whistle, sing and play,
And just the thing for fighting.
Upon the ocean's wide domain
Our tars are firm and true, sirs,
And Freedom's cause they will maintain,
With Yankee Doodle doo, sirs.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
The Fourth day of July, 'tis said,
That day did Britain rue, sirs,
When an independent tune we play'd,
Call'd Yankee Doodle doo, sirs.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
Columbia's sons did then declare
They would be independent,
And for King George they would not care,
Nor yet for his descendant.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
British tars think that they can
Whip Yankees one to two, sirs,
But only give us man to man,
They'll see what we can do, sirs.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
Yankee Doodle, boys, huzza!
Down outside up the middle.
Yankee Doodle, fa so la,
Trunpet, drum and fiddle.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
