Brother Ephraim sold his Cow
And bought him a Commission
And then he went to Canada
To Fight for the Nation.
But when Ephraim he came home
He prov'd an arrant Coward,
He wou'd'n't fight the Frenchmen there
For fear of being devour'd.

Sheep's Head and Vinegar
Butter Milk and Tansy
Boston is a Yankee Town
Sing Hey Doodle Dandy,
First we'll take a Pinch of Snuff
And then a drink of Water
And then we'll say How do you do
And that's a Yanky's Supper.

Aminadab is just come Home,
His Eyes all greas'd with Bacon
And all the news that he cou'd tell
Is Cape Breton is taken,
Stand up Jonathan
Figure in by Neighbour
Vathen stand a little off
And make the Room some wider.

Christmas is a coming Boys,
We'll go to Mother Chase's,
And there we'll get a Sugar Dram
Sweetn'd with Melasses,
Heigh ho for our Cape Cod,
Heigh ho Nantasket,
Do not let the Boston wags
Feel your Oyster Basket.

Punkin Pye is very good
And so is Apple Lantern;
Had you been whipp'd as oft as I,
You'd not have been so wanton.
Uncle is a Yankee Man
'Ifaith he pays us all of
And he has got a Fiddle
As big as Daddy's Hog's Trough.

Seth's Mother went to Lynn,
To buy a pair of Breeches;
The first time Vathen put them on
He tore out all the Stitches.
Dolly-Bushel let a Fart
Jenny Jones she found it;
Ambrose carried it to Mill
Where Doctor Warren ground it.

Our Jemima's lost her Mare,
And can't tell where to find her;
But she'll come trotting by and by
And bring her Tail behind her.
Two and two may go to Bed,
Two and two together;
And if there is not room enough,
Lie one a top o'to'ther.
