hawkshaw hawkins - soldier's joy lyrics
some tough little soldier’s on a bivouac
were playin’ stud poker in a mountain shack
but every man put down his hands
when the captain of the guard gave a sharp command
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out, rosin’ up your bow
johnny turn your back, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the broom around the court room floor
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
(interlude)
the girls in boston are dancin’ tonight
the dall-gurn redcoats are holdin’ ’em tight
when we get there, we’ll show ’em how
but that ain’t a doin’ us no good now
[repeat chorus]
there go general washington,
he’s got his horse in (sweeping run)
the barefoot boys are beggin’ to fight
we’re gonna cross the delaware river tonight
[repeat chorus]
oh we’re goin’ in the wilderness
got his army in an awful mess
farmers got mad at the british in the hunt
they got ten thousand of the son-of-a-guns
[repeat chorus]
john paul jones in an old tin can
scoured the ocean like a fightin’ man
the british said paul are you ready to strike
and paul said i’m just beginning to fight
[repeat chorus]
