hawkshaw hawkins - soldier’s joy lyrics
[verse 1]
some continental soldiers on a bivouac
were playin’ stud poker in a mountain shack
but every vigilante threw down his hands
when the captain of the guard gave the sharp command
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow
johnny turn your banjo up, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the jug around to corporal mccoy
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
[verse 2]
the girls in boston are dancin’ tonight
the god darn redcoats are holdin’ ’em tight
when we get there, we’ll show ’em how
but that ain’t a-doin’ us no good now
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow
johnny turn your banjo up, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the jug around to corporal mccoy
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
[verse 3]
there goes general washington
he’s got his horse in a sweeping run
the barefoot boys are beggin’ to fight
we’re gonna cross the delaware river tonight
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow
johnny turn your banjo up, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the jug around to corporal mccoy
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
[verse 4]
oh we’re goin’ in the wilderness
got his army in an awful mess
the farmers got mad at the british and the huns
and they captured ten thousand of the son-of-a-guns
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow
johnny turn your banjo up, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the jug around to corporal mccoy
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
[verse 5]
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”
[chorus]
oh jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow
johnny turn your banjo up, we’re gonna have a show
billy p-ss the jug around to corporal mccoy
we’re gonna have a tune called soldier’s joy
