about

This time, another family story as a family loyal to the crown is confined to their property for the duration of the Revolutionary War due to some knowledge they have of important information. One of the guards to keep them there recites his reasoning why they must remain.

lyrics

Well man, na' I her'd ye' sayin'
at the' town hall jes' th' other day
tha' ye'd have a notion t'sit home fer th' war
an' King George ye' coul' ne'er b'tray

CH:
Well they're sayin' ye gon' an' turnt on Gen'ral Warshington
an' if'n ye' ain't well then ye' may well can
all's I knaw is tha' we nay will trust ye'
an' na' yer gonna stay on yer tory farm

Well th' king gon' an grant' ye tha' farm ye'sit on
so t'our men na' quarter ye'd deny
an' since ye tak' t' yer land much mor' than' t' yer kin
on tha' piece o' ground na' ye' will stay behin'

*CH*

T' our men ye' coul' turn an' cut 'em down
t' liberty ye'd turn yer back
t' them British ye coul' tell a thang ar two
so we nay can 'fford ye' doin' tha'

*CH*
