original broadway cast of 1776 - the lees of old virginia lyrics

Loading...

[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
[franklin, spoken]
social-

political-

financial-

natural-

internal-

external-

fraternal-

eternal-

[franklin & lee]
the ffv
the first family
in the sovereign colony
of virginia!

[lee]
and may my wife refuse my bed
if i can’t deliver, as i said
resolution on independency!

[adams, spoken]
spoken modest-lee. god help us

[franklin, spoken]
oh, he will, john. he will

[lee]
they say that god in heaven
is everybody’s god

[lee]
i’ll admit that god in heaven
is everybody’s god!

but i tell you, john, with pride
god leans a little on the side
of the lees! the lees of old virginia!

you see it’s here a lee, there a lee
and everywhere a lee, a lee
here a lee, there a lee
and everywhere a lee

look out, there’s arthur lee!
bobby lee!
and general lighthorse harry lee!
w-lly lee!
jesse lee!

[franklin, spoken]
and richard h.?

[lee, spoken]
that’s me!

(sung)
and may my blood stop running blue
if i can’t deliver up to you
resolution on independency

yes, sir, by god it’s
here a lee, there a lee
come on, boys, join in with me!
here a lee, there a lee

[franklin]
when do you leave?

[lee]
immediate-lee!
here a lee, there a lee

[franklin]
when will you return?

[lee]
short-lee!
here a lee, there a lee
and i’ll come back triumphant-lee!
here a lee, there a lee
everywhere a lee, a lee
forward, ho!
