Lyrics
My name is Richard Henry Lee; Virginia is my home My name is Richard Henry Lee; Virginia is my home And my horses turn to glue if I can't deliver Unto you a resolution on independency! For I am FFV, the first family In the sovereign colony of Virginia Yes I am 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 a resolution on independency! You see it's here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee And everywhere-a-Lee-a-Lee Social-Lee, political-Lee, financial-Lee, natural-Lee Internal-Lee, external-Lee, fraternal-Lee, eternal-Lee The FFV, the first family In the sovereign colony of Virginia And may my wife refuse my bed if I can't deliver As I said a resolution on independency They say that God in heaven is everybody's God 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 Virgina! 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 Willy Lee, Jesse Lee And Richard H.! That's me! And may my blood stop running blue if I can't deliver Unto you a resolution on independency! Yes sir, by God, it's here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee Come on boys join in with me! Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee! When do you leave? Immediate-Lee! Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee! When will you return? Short-Lee! Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee! And I'll come back triumphant-Lee! Here-a-Lee, there-a-Lee! Everywhere a-Lee-a-Lee Forward ho!
