ron holgate - the lees of old virginia lyrics

[lee, spoken]
whoa, boy! steady! you’ve come to the one colony that can get the job done – virginia! the land that gave us our glorious commander in chief – george washington! – will now give the continent its proposal on independence! when virginia proposes, the south is bound to follow! and where the south goes, the middle colonies go! gentlemen, salute! to virginia: the mother of american independence!

[adams, spoken]
incredible… we’re free and he hasn’t even left yet! what makes you so sure that you can do it?

[lee, spoken]
hah!

(sung)
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-
[lee]
-lee!

-lee!

[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

[frankin, spoken]
amen!

[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!

[lee, adams & franklin]
here a lee, there a lee

[franklin]
when do you leave?

[lee]
immediate-lee!

[lee, adams & franklin]
here a lee, there a lee

[franklin]
when will you return?

[lee]
short-lee!

[lee, adams & franklin]
here a lee, there a lee

[lee]
and i’ll come back triumphant-lee!

[lee, adams & franklin]
here a lee, there a lee
everywhere a lee, a lee

[lee]
forward, ho!
