Sherman Edwards - The Lees of Old Virginia lyrics

My name is Richard Henry Lee Virginia is my home My name is Richard Henry Lee Virginia is my home And may my horses turn to glue If I can't deliver up to you The resolution on independency For I am FFV The first family In the sovereign colony Of Virginia Yes, the 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 The resolution on independency You see, it's here a Lee, there a Lee And everywhere a Lee, a Lee Benjamin Franklin: (Social) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (Political) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Bejamin Franklin: (Financial) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (Natural) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (Internal) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (External) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (Fraternal) Richard Henry Lee: (Lee!) Benjamin Franklin: (Eternal) Richard Henry Lee: (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 The resolution on independency John Adams: (Spoken modest-Lee. God help us.) Benjamin Franklin: (He will, John. He will.) 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 Virginia 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!) Benjamin Franklin: (And Richard H.?) Richard Henry Lee: (That's me!) And may my blood stop running blue If I can't deliver up to you The 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 Benjamin Franklin: (When do you leave?) Richard Henry Lee: (Immediate-Lee!) Here a Lee, there a Lee Benjamin Franklin: (When do you return?) Richard Henry Lee: (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!
