Traditional
Written in F major, range A3 to B♭4
A country boy visits the army camp with his father and stares at everything: Captain Washington on his horse, a gun as big as a log, soldiers drilling to the drum. British soldiers sang the song to mock the American colonists, who then took it over as a proud song of their own in the Revolutionary War; the piano part is from Heart Songs (1909).
