  1. Music In Colonial Times!!!!! Made By: Lynell Shepherd

  2. Yankee Doodle Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy. Fath'r and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Gooding, And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty pudding. But it was a British surgeon, Richard Schuckburgh, who wrote the words (in 1755) we know today that ridiculed the ragtag colonists fighting in the French and Indian War.

  3. The Liberty Song Come, join hand in hand, brave Americans all, And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call; No tyrannous acts shall suppress your just claim, Or stain with dishonor America's name. Chorus: In Freedom we're born and in Freedom we'll live. Our purses are ready. Steady, friends, steady; Not as slaves, but as Freemen our money we'll give.

  4. The Star Spangle Banner • During the night of September 13, 1814, the British fleet bombarded Fort McHenry in the harbor at Baltimore, Maryland. • Francis Scott Key, a 34-year old lawyer-poet, watched the attack from the deck of a British prisoner-exchange ship. • He had gone to seek the release of a friend but they were refused permission to go ashore until after the attack had been made.

  5. The Girl I Left Be Hind Me • Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill,Since parting with my BetseyI seek for one as fair and gay,But find none to remind meHow sweet the hours I passed away,With the girl I left behind me. • The song was popular in the US regular army, who adopted it during the War of 1812 after they heard a British prisoner singing it. • The song was used by the Army as a marching tune throughout the 19th century.

  6. Why , Soldiers Why? • How stands the glass around?For shame you take no care, my boys,How stands the glass around?Let wine and mirth abound;The trumpet sound,The colors they do fly my boys;To fight, kill or wound;As you would be found,Contented with hard fare, my boysOn the cold groundO why, soldiers why?
