Yankee Doodle went to town

A-riding on a pony

Stuck a feather in his hat

And called it macaroni

Chorus:

Yankee Doodle, keep it up

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Mind the music and the step

And with the girls be handy

Father and I went down to camp

Along with Captain Goodwin

There were the men and boys

As thick as hasty puddin’

Chorus

And there was Captain Washington

Upon a slapping stallion

Giving orders to his men

I guess there were a million

Chorus

"Yankee Doodle" is a tune

That comes in mighty handy

The enemy all runs away

At "Yankee Doodle Dandy"

Chorus

On top of Old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

For courtin’ too slow

For courtin’s a pleasure

And parting is grief

And a false-hearted lover

Is worse than a thief

For a thief will just rob you

And take all your pay

But a false-hearted lover

Will lead you astray

On top of Old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

For courtin’ too slow

I’ll sing you a song, a good song of the sea

With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!

And trust that you’ll join in the chorus with me

Give me some time to blow the man down

There was an old skipper; I don’t know his name

With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!

Although he once played a remarkable game

Give me some time to blow the man down

His ship lay becalmed in the tropical seas

With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!

He whistled all day, but in vain, for a breeze

Give me some time to blow the man down

My bonnie lies over the ocean

My bonnie lies over the sea

My bonnie lies over the ocean

Oh, bring back my bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back

Oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me

Bring back, bring back

Oh, bring back my bonnie to me

Sailing, sailing over the bounding main

For many a stormy wind shall blow ere Jack comes home again

Sailing, sailing over the bounding main

For many a stormy wind shall blow ere Jack comes home again

   

Chorus:

Way, hey and up she rises

Way, hey and up she rises

Way, hey and up she rises

Early in the morning

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

What do you do with a drunken sailor

Early in the morning?

Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober

Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober

Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober

Early in the morning

Chorus

The Camptown ladies sing this song

Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

The Camptown track is five miles long

Oh, doo-dah-day!

I came down here with my hat caved in

Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

I go back home with a pocket full of tin

Oh, doo-dah-day!

Gonna run all night, gonna run all day

I bet my money on the bobtail nag

Somebody bet on the bay

Repeat

I had on old dog and his name was Blue

Bet you five dollars he’s a good dog, too

Oh, yeah. You good dog, you"

Well, old Blue comes when I blow my horn

Old Blue comes when I blow my horn

Blue comes running through the yellow corn

Old Blue comes when I blow my horn

Chorus

Late in the year of ’93

I got pinned ’neath a fallen tree

Old Blue turned, ran straight to town

Came right back with old Doc Brown

Chorus

I remember when Blue and I

Roamed the hills beneath the sky

Then one day my old Blue died

Like a child, I knelt and cried

Chorus

Well, when I get to Heaven

First thing I’ll do

Grab my horn and call for Blue

When I get to Heaven

First thing I’ll do

Grab my horn and blow for Blue

Chorus

Chorus:

Here we go loopty-loo!

The bear went over the mountain

The bear went over the mountain

The bear went over the mountain

To see what he could see

And all that he could see

And all that he could see was

The other side of the mountain

The other side of the mountain

The other side of the mountain

Was all that he could see!

The bear went over the river

The bear went over the river

The bear went over the river

To see what he could see

And all that he could see

And all that he could see was

The other side of the river

The other side of the river

The other side of the river

Was all that he could see!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

Which nobody can deny!

Which nobody can deny!

Which nobody can deny!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

For he’s a jolly good fellow!

Which nobody can deny!

From this valley they say you are going

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For I know you are taking the sunshine

That has lighted my pathway awhile

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

But remember the Red River Valley

And the one who has loved you so true

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the one who has loved you so true

Chorus:

Lou, lou, skip to my lou

Lou, lou, skip to my lou

Lou, lou, skip to my lou

Skip to my lou, my darlin’

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo!

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo!

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo!

Skip to my lou, my darlin’

Lost my partner, what’ll I do?

Lost my partner, what’ll I do?

Lost my partner, what’ll I do?

Skip to my lou, my darlin’

I’ll find another one -- a pretty one, too

I’ll find another one -- a pretty one, too

I’ll find another one -- a pretty one, too

Skip to my lou, my darlin’

I’ve got a gal and that ain’t all

I’ve got a gal who’s ten feet tall

Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall!

Skip to my lou, my darlin’

I know a fellow; his name is Bill

He was born on the side of a hill

One leg’s longer than the other one still

Skip to my lou, my darlin'

Chorus

Way down upon the Swanee River, far, far away

There’s where my heart is turning ever

There’s where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation, sadly I roam

Still longing for the old plantation

And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam

Oh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary, far from the old folks at home

One little hut among the bushes, one that I love

Still sadly to my memory rushes, no matter where I rove

When will I see the bees a-hummin’ all round the comb?

When will I hear the banjo strummin’ down in my good old home?

All the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam

Oh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary, far from the old folks at home

There’s a yellow rose in Texas

I’m going back to see

No other fellow loves her as half as much as me

She cried so when I left her

It almost broke my heart

And if we ever meet again

We never more shall part

She’s the sweetest little rosebud

That Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds

They sparkle like the dew

You can talk about your Clementine and dream of Rosalie

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me

Chorus:

Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight

Come out tonight, come out tonight?

Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight

And dance by the light of the moon?

As I was strollin’ down the street

Down the street, down the street

A pretty little gal I chanced to meet

Oh, she was sweet to me!

Chorus

I’d like to make this gal my wife

Gal my wife, gal my wife

I’d make her happy all her life

If she would marry me!

Chorus

London Bridge is falling down

Falling down, falling down

London Bridge is falling down

My fair lady

Build it up with iron bars ... (etc.)

Iron bars will bend and break … (etc.)

Build it up with pins and needles ... (etc.)

Pins and needles rust and bend ... (etc.)

Build it up with gold and silver ... (etc.)

Gold and silver I’ve not got ... (etc.)

London Bridge is falling down ... (etc.)
