American Revolutionary Song: Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle is a well-known American song, the early versions of which date to before the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution. The song was a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees". It was also popular among the Americans as a song of defiance,[1] and they added additional verses to it that mocked the British troops and hailed George Washington as the Commander of the Continental army. By 1781, Yankee Doodle had turned from being an insult to being a song of national pride.

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.
