Yankee Doodle

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.

There was Captain Washington

Upon a strapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men,

I guess there was a million.

And then the feathers on his hat,

They looked so' tarnal fin-a,

I wanted pockily to get

To give to my Jemim-ie.

And there we saw a little keg,

The heads were made of leather;

They knocked upon it with two sticks

to call the men together.
