Yankee Doodle Dandy Lyrics

Father and I went down to eamp,
Along with Captain Gooding;
And there we saw the men and boys,

And with the girls be handy.

As' Siah's underpinning;
And father went as nigh agin,

Yankee doodle, keep it up,
Yankee doodle dandy;
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

We saw a little barrel, too,
The heads were made of leather;
They knocked upon it with little clubs,
And called the folks together.
