Yankee Doodle (c.1775)
"We saw a little barrel, too,
The heads were made of leather;
They knocked upon't with little clubs
And called the folks together."
Over the Hills and Far Away (c. 1706)
"Hark, now the Drums beat up again,
For all true Soldier gentlemen,
Then let us list and march I say,
Over the hills and far away;
Chorus: Over the hills and o'er the main,
To Flanders, Portugal, and Spain,
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,
Over the hills and far away
No more from sound of drum retreat,
While Marlbrorough and Galway beat,
The French and Spainish every day,
When over the hills and far away."
-Peter Bringe
Memor!
