Soldier's Joy Lyrics

Some tough little soldier's on a bivouac

Were playin' stud poker in a mountain shack

But every man put down his hands

When the Captain of the guard gave a sharp command

[CHORUS]

Oh Jimmy get your fiddle out, rosin' up your bow

Johnny turn your back, we're gonna have a show

Billy pass the broom around the court room floor

We're gonna have a tune called Soldier's Joy

(Interlude)

The girls in Boston are dancin' tonight

The dall-gurn redcoats are holdin' 'em tight

When we get there, we'll show 'em how

But that ain't a doin' us no good now

[Repeat CHORUS]

There go General Washington,

He's got his horse in (sweeping run)

The barefoot boys are beggin' to fight

We're gonna cross the Delaware River tonight

[Repeat CHORUS]

Oh we're goin' in the wilderness

Got his army in an awful mess

Farmers got mad at the British in the hunt

They got ten thousand of the Son-of-a-guns

[Repeat CHORUS]

John Paul Jones in an old tin can

Scoured the ocean like a fightin' man

The British said Paul are you ready to strike

And Paul said I'm just beginning to fight

[Repeat CHORUS]
