LYRICS


:1. Dixie whipped old Yankee Doodle
:Early in the morning,
:So Yankeedom had best look out,
:And take a timely warning.

::''Chorus''
:Hurrah! for our Dixie Land!
:Hurrah! for our borders!
:Southern boys to arms will stand,
:And whip the dark marauders!

:2. Yankee Doodles soundly slept
:Upon their greasy pillows,
:While Dixie boys, with muffled oars,
:Were gliding o'er the billows.

:3. Yankee Doodles, grease your heels,
:Make ready to be running,
:For Dixie boys are near at hand,
:Surpassing you in cunning.

:4. Anderson, the gallant brave,
:Who broke upon their slumbers,
:E'en little girls and boys shall sing
:Your name in tuneful numbers.

:5. A thousand blessings on your heads,
:Our brave, unflinching leaders,
:A light you are upon the path
:Of all our brave seceders.

:6. Wright, on Carolina's coast,
:Was e'er a hero bolder?
:He seized a Yankee foe, and made
:A breastwork of the soldier.

:7. Louisiana, bold and brave,
:Renowned for Creole beauty,
:Your champions will bear in mind
:The watchword, grace and booty!

:8. Yankee Doodle, fair thee well,
:Ere long you'll be forgotten,
:While Dixie's notes shall gaily float
:Throughout the land of cotton.
