Yankee Doodle - Loyalist Version

-"Yankee Doodle" is a well-known American song and a nursery rhyme, the early versions of which predate the Seven Years' War and American Revolution. It is often sung patriotically in the United States today and is the state anthem of Connecticut. Its Roud Folk Song Index number is 4501. The melody is thought to be much older than both the lyrics and the subject, going back to folk songs of Medieval Europe.

--The paintings are from the war of Independence of the USA (1775 -1783).

[NihilsineDeo.]

Yankee Doodle came to town,
For to buy a firelock,
We will tar and feather him,
And so we will John Hancock.
When old Georgie took the field
He proved an arrant coward
He wouldn't fight the British there
For fear of being devoured
Then old Georgie grew so bold
He said there's no man greater
But he will sing a mournful tune
When he's hanged as a traitor.

The chorus of the modern UK version of Yankee Doodle is very unimaginative

Yankee Doodle fa so la
Yankee Doodle dandy
Yankee Doodle fa so la
Butter, milk and brandy

The British version is more offensive than the American one.
