A Ballad of Tea Party |
the Boston |
Oliver Wendell Holme* 1809-1894. |
Unknown .... 18,19,20
Air: Yankee Doodle.
This tune originated in France or Holland. First sung in England to the nursery rhyme "Lucy Locket lost her pocket " it was soon adapted to verses sung by the Cavaliers in ridicule of Cromwell who was said to have entered Oxford riding a email horse and wearing a single plume fastened into a sort of knot derisively called a " macaroni."
"Yankee Doodle came to town, Upon a Kentish pony ; He stuck a leather in his cap, Upon a macaroni."
When, in 1755, the Colonists were assembling under Braddock near Albany, a joke-loving British surgeon gave them this song as the latest martial music from England. The joke succeeded, and the uncouth Continentals played and sang Yankee Doodle to the great amusement of the British. Twenty-six years later Cornwallis marched to the same tune into the lines of these same old Continentals to surrender his sword and his army.
