Lyrics
  • Then into the room George Washington came, he said: “Son are you true? Are you loyal thru and thru, after all we’ve done for you?” Just then I awoke and all I could see was red, white and blue, Ever since my dream, I’m Yankee thru and thru. Refrain: I call Uncle Sam my Pa, hurrah for Pa, Columbia is my Ma, hurrah for Ma, They’ve made me a loyal son, they taught me how to use a gun, They told me I should never run, But to fight like well if trouble should ever come our way, Some day I’d follow the fife and drum, hooray! Hooray! It isn’t for me to boast or brag, I just want to say, I love my flag, and I’m Yankee thru and thru. Verse: The boys who fought the fight at Bunker hill, whose spirit still gives us a loyal thrill. The boys who fought the fight in forty-eight,
  • curious dream, wonderfully beautiful dream, I dreamed that Lincoln, Grant and Sherman and Lee stood by my side so dignified, and gravely beckoned to me
  • Yankee Thru and Thru Verse: Last night I had the most remarkable dream
