[lee]
my name is richard henry lee
virginia is my home
my name is richard henry lee
virginia is my home!
and may my horses turn to glue
if i can’t deliver up to you
resolution on independency!
for i am ffv
the first family
in the sovereign colony
of virginia!
yes, the ffv
the oldest family
in the oldest colony
in america!
and may the british burn my land
if i can’t deliver to your hand
resolution on independency
you see
it’s here a lee, there a lee
and everywhere a lee, a lee

come on, boys, join in with me!
here a lee, there a lee
[franklin]

here a lee, there a lee
and i’ll come back triumphant-lee!
