They rambled up, they rambled down, joined hands and off they run, Sir Of General Greene to Charlestown, the Earl to Wilmington, Sir. Greene, in the south, then danced a set, and got a mighty name, Sir Cornwallis jigged with young Fayette but suffered in his fame, sir. Then down he figured to the shore, most like a lordly dancer And on his courtly honor swore, he would no more advance, Sir. Quoth he "My guards are weary grown with doing country dances, They never at St. James had shown at capers, kicks or prances. No men so gallant there were seen while saunt'ring on parade, Sir, Or dancing o'er the park so green, or at the masquerade, Sir." Yet are red heels and long-laced skirts for stumps and briars meet, Sir? Or stand they chance with hunting-shirts or hardy veteran feet, Sir? Now housed in York he challenged all, at minuet or allemande And lessons for a courtly ball his guards by day and night conned. Good Washington, Columbia's son, whom easy nature taught, Sir, That grace that can't by pains be won, nor Plutus' gold be bought, Sir. Now hand in hand they circle round the ever-dancing Peer, Sir, Their gentle movements soon confound the Earl, as he draws near, Sir His music soon forgets to play, his feet can't move no more, Sir, And all his men now curse the day they jigged to our shore, Sir. Now Tories all, what can you say? Cornwallis is no griper, But while your hopes are danced away, 'tis you who pay the piper. @war @soldier @America filename[ CRNWLLIS play.exe WEASLPOP RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Country Roads, Courting Case, Coventry Carol, Cow Kicked Nelly, Cowboy Fireman, Cowboys Dream, Cowpuncher, Cows, Crafty Boy, Crafty Maids Policy, Craigie Hill, Crawdad, Crayfish, Crazy Man Michael, Cripple Creek, Croatia Anthem Text, Croatia Native Anthem Text, Crockery Ware, Crooked Jack, Croppie Boy, Crossing The Border, Crow On The Cradle, Crows In The Garden, Crucificixion Of Christ, Cruel Brother, Cruel Mother, Cruel War, Cuba Native Anthem Text, Cuckoo, Cuckoo Shes A Pretty Bird, Cuckoos Nest, Cumberland And The Merrimac, Cumberlands Crew, Cunnla, Cupids Garden, Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, Curragh Of Kildare, Cushie Butterfield, Cutty Wren, Cutty Wren2, Cyprus Anthem Text, Cyprus Native Anthem Text, Cyril Said It All Before, Czech Republic Native Anthem Text, Czechoslovakia Composers Round, Daddy Whats A Train, Daddy Youve Been On My Mind, Dahn The Plugole, Daily Growing Bonny Boy Is Young, Dalesmans Litany, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
