Edward Bangs, The Farmer and his Son's return from a visit to the CAMP (1776)
“ Yankey doodle keep it up, yankey doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy. And there we see a thousand men, As rich as squire David, And what they wasted every day, I wish it had been saved. Yankey doodle, &c. The 'lasses they eat every day, Would keep an house a winter; They have as much that I'll be bound, They eat it when they're mind to. Yankey doodle, &c. ”
