1776 Original Cast Recording movie - Lees of Old Virginia lyrics
rate me<br>
Lee:<br>
My name is Richard Henry Lee; Virginia is my home<br>
My name is Richard Henry Lee; Virginia is my home<br>
And my horses turn to glue if I can't deliver<br>
Unto you a resolution on independency!<br>
<br>
For I am FFV, the first family<br>
In the sovereign colony of Virginia<br>
Yes I am FFV, the oldest family<br>
in the oldest colony in America<br>
And may the British burn my land if I can't deliver<br>
To your hand a resolution on independency!<br>
<br>
You see it's here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee<br>
And everywhere-a-Lee-a-Lee<br>
<br>
Social-Lee, political-Lee, financial-Lee, natural-Lee<br>
Internal-Lee, external-Lee, fraternal-Lee, eternal-Lee<br>
<br>
The FFV, the first family<br>
In the sovereign colony of Virginia<br>
And may my wife refuse my bed if I can't deliver<br>
As I said a resolution on independency<br>
<br>
They say that God in heaven is everybody's God<br>
I'll admit that God in heaven is everybody's God<br>
But I tell you, John, with pride, God leans<br>
A little on the side of the Lees, the Lees of old Virgina!<br>
<br>
You see it's here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee<br>
And everywhere-a-Lee-a-Lee<br>
Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee<br>
And everywhere-a-Lee<br>
<br>
Look out! There's Arthur Lee, Bobby Lee<br>
And General Lighthorse Harry Lee<br>
Willy Lee, Jesse Lee<br>
<br>
Franklin:<br>
And Richard H.! <br>
Lee:<br>
That's me!<br>
And may my blood stop running blue if I can't deliver<br>
Unto you a resolution on independency!<br>
<br>
Yes sir, by God, it's here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee<br>
Come on boys join in with me!<br>
Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee!<br>
<br>
Franklin:<br>
When do you leave? <br>
Lee:<br>
Immediate-Lee!<br>
Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee!<br>
Franklin:<br>
When will you return? <br>
Lee:<br>
Short-Lee!<br>
Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee!<br>
And I'll come back triumphant-Lee!<br>
Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee!<br>
Everywhere a-Lee-a-Lee<br>
<br>
Forward ho!<br>
<br>
