Complimentary "82 Rock-A-Bye, Baby" Ringtone Father and I went down to camp

Along with Captain Gooding

And there we saw the men and boys

As thick as hasty pudding.



Chorus

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 slapping stallion

A-giving orders to his men

I guess there was a million.



Chorus



And then the feathers on his hat

They looked so' tarnal fin-a

I wanted pockily to get

To give to my Jemima.



Chorus



And then we saw a swamping gun

Large as a log of maple

Upon a deuced little cart

A load for father's cattle.



Chorus



And every time they shoot it off

It takes a horn of powder

It makes a noise like father's gun

Only a nation louder.



Chorus



I went as nigh to one myself

As' Siah's underpinning

And father went as nigh agin

I thought the deuce was in him.

We saw a little barrel, too

The heads were made of leather

They knocked upon it with little clubs

And called the folks together.



Chorus



And there they'd fife away like fun

And play on cornstalk fiddles

And some had ribbons red as blood

All bound around their middles.

The troopers, too, would gallop up

And fire right in our faces

It scared me almost to death

To see them run such races.



Chorus



Uncle Sam came there to change

Some pancakes and some onions

For' lasses cake to carry home

To give his wife and young ones.



Chorus



But I can't tell half I see

They kept up such a smother

So I took my hat off, made a bow

And scampered home to mother.



Chorus



Cousin Simon grew so bold

I thought he would have cocked it

It scared me so I streaked it off

And hung by father's pocket.



Chorus



And there I saw a pumpkin shell

As big as mother's basin

And every time they touched it off

They scampered like the nation.





Other Verses:



And there was Captain Washington,

With gentlefolks about him,

They say he's gown so 'tarnal proud

He will not ride without them.



Chorus



There came Gen'ral Washington

Upon a snow-white charger

He looked as big as all outdoors

And thought that he was larger.



Chorus Complimentary "82 Rock-A-Bye, Baby" Ringtone
