Twas on a cloudy morning, all in de month ob May,
Dey sails for Jonny BuU's land, bout de break ob de

Denour brave yankee tars, dey all follow'd arter

Dere is two ole sojer, dat you nebber mus forgctt
One is massa Washinton, todder La Fayette,
When de war was ober, an ebery ting content,

An Yankee doodle roared away dey keep it up handy,
Some can sing, and some can say, Yankee doodle

An if ole Cox be willin, we'll take our cousin Jim
An we'll all go snacks togedder, wid de ter-rapin.

An if I get encouraged by de people of dis town.
Why take de eberlasting blessing ub dis nigger JIM
BROWN.
