the lee valley string band - when first into this country lyrics
when first unto this country a stranger i came
i fought the revolution, peace and quiet was my aim
when the indians attacked us, at least that’s what i’m told
so we threw them off their land with no thought of greed or gold
then our ships were being boarded, other countries took our men
napoleon was too powerful, the british lost again
and then hopelessly outnumbered, we fought our level best
and we borrowed from old mexico the american south west
and whеn that war was over there was no onе left to fight
so we turned and fought each other++to the historians delight
then for thirty years we rested, and tried to ease the pain
until the cuban sugar crop we gladly freed from spain
then europe started feudin’, there were profits by the score
so the ammunition makers fought the war to end all war
but old hitler started marchin’, he practiced over in spain
the depression was defeated, the world was safe again
so we joined the united nations in hopes that war would cease
and except for korea, we almost kept the peace
yes, its time to really end all wars, the h+bomb makes it worse
besides this song is much too long to add another verse
