The Lees of Old Virginia

作曲 : Sherman Edwards

My name is Richard Henry Lee

Virginia is my home

My name is Richard Henry Lee

Virginia is my home

And may my horses turn to glue

If I can't deliver up to you

A resolution-on independency!

For I am F.F.V

The First Family

In the Sovereign Colony of Virginia

Yes, the F.F.V

The Oldest Family

In the oldest colony in America!

And may the British burn my land

If I can't deliver up to your hand

A resolution-on independency!

Y'see it's-

Here a Lee

There a Lee

Everywhere a Lee, a Lee!

The F.F.V

The First Family

In the Sovereign colony of Virginia!

And may my wife refuse my bed

If I can't deliver (as I said)

A resolution-on independency!

Spoken modest-Lee. God help us!

He will, John! He will!

They say that God in Heaven

Is everybody's God

I'll admit that God in Heaven

Is everybody's God

But I tell you, John, with pride

God leans a little on the side

Of the Lees! The Lees of old Virginia

Y'see it's

Here a Lee, there a Lee

Everywhere a Lee-a Lee!

Here a Lee, there a Lee

Everywhere a Lee-

Look out! There's

That's me!

And may my blood top running blue

If I can't deliver up to you

A resolution-on independency!

Yes sir, by God, it's

Here a Lee!

There a Lee!

Come on, boys, join in with me!

Here a Lee! There a Lee!

When do y'leave?

Immediate-Lee!

Here a Lee! There a Lee!

When will you return?

Short-Lee!

Here a Lee! There a Lee!

And I'll come back

Triumphant-Lee!

Here a Lee! There a Lee!

Ev'rywhere a Lee! A Lee!
