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 resol-ution on independen-cy
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 resol-ution on independen-cy
You see, it's here a Lee, there a Lee
And everywhere a Lee, a Lee
Social Lee!
Political Lee!
Financial Lee!
Natural Lee!
Internal Lee!
External Lee!
Fraternal Lee!
Eternal 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 resol-ution on independen-cy
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, a Lee
Look out there's:
Arthur Lee!
Bobby Lee!
And General Lighthorse Harry Lee!
Willy Lee!
Jesse Lee!
And Richard H.?
That's me!
And may my blood stop running blue
If I can't deliver up to you
The resol-ution on independen-cy
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
Ben 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!
