Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.

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 Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion
A-giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.

I love this and wonder if you have him singing all the verses with the drum. Would love to see or hear it or let me know if it is on one of his CDs. Thanks.

Charlie hasn't recorded this one yet. He talks about doing another album of Americana but released 3 new albums in the last 3 months so it's time for a rest!!! Summers are always full of festivals for him...
