Lyrics:
Continental soldiers on a bivouac Were playin' stud poker in a mountain shack Every vigilante laid down his hand When the captain of the guard gave his sharp command So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy The girls in Boston are dancing tonight The gosh darn red-coats are holding 'em tight When we get there we'll show them how But that ain't doing us no good now So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy There goes general Washington He's got his horse in a sweeping run The bare-foot boys are beggin' to fight We're gonna cross the Delaware river tonight So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy Old Burgoyne in the wilderness Got his army in an awful mess Farmers got mad at the British and the Huns They captured ten thousand of the son-of-a-guns So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy General Washington and Rose Shambeaux Drinking their wine in the campfire's glow Big Ben Morgan came galloping in Said we got Cornwallace in the old crow pen So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy Wake up buddy have you heard the news Grandma Britain's got an awful bruise Redcoats cried and cursed your town While the band's played The World's Turned Upside Down So Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up your bow Sally tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show Billy pass the jug around to Corporal Mccoy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy We're gonna have a tune called soldier's joy
