The Lees of Old Virginia Lyrics

[LEE]
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
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
Resolution on independency

You see
It's here a Lee, there a Lee
And everywhere a Lee, a Lee

[FRANKLIN, spoken]
Social-

Political-

Financial-

Natural-

Internal-

External-

Fraternal-

Eternal-

[LEE]
-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!

-Lee!
[FRANKLIN & LEE]
The FFV
The first family
In the sovereign colony
Of Virginia!

[LEE]
And may my wife refuse my bed
If I can't deliver, as I said
Resolution on independency!

[ADAMS, spoken]
Spoken modest-Lee. God help us

[FRANKLIN, spoken]
Oh, he will, John. He will

[LEE]
They say that God in heaven
Is everybody's God

[LEE]
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!

[FRANKLIN, spoken]
And Richard H.?

[LEE, spoken]
That's me!

(sung)
And may my blood stop running blue
If I can't deliver up to you
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

[FRANKLIN]
When do you leave?

[LEE]
Immediate-Lee!
Here a Lee, there a Lee

[FRANKLIN]
When will you return?

[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!
