Johnny Horton "Johnny Freedom" |
(George Weiss - Jule Styne) When our country was a baby and the Redcoats had their way It was he who had a party tossin' tea in Boston Bay It was he who braved the winter in the days of Valley Forge Fightin' side by side together with the fellow named of George. (Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom You can meet him on each page of history He's the spirit of America, our country's pride and joy Hats off to Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom that's our boy.) When our country started growing and the wagons headed West When our country called for pioneers his name led all the rest What a figure in his rawhide coat and hat made of racoon Wonder what there was about he made you think of Daniel Boone. (Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom You can meet him on each page of history He's the spirit of America, our country's pride and joy Hats off to Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom that's our boy.) If we need a mess of thinking he's the Lincoln of the day If we're fixin' fer a tussle it's his muscle all the way If we need a handsome fella so the ladies hearts can throb There's a Yankee Doodle Dandy always handy for the job. (Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom You can meet him on each page of history He's the spirit of America, our country's pride and joy Hats off to Johnny Freedom, Johnny Freedom that's our boy...)
