That way to John Glover
-
This
way to Baron Von Steuben
|
- He was more
than a picture on a postage stamp
- He was more
than a face on a dollar bill.
- He was more
than the subject of a Gilbert Stuart
- portrait
- Not a man standing
stiff, not a man standing still,
- But a man of
action with a job that must be done.
- General George
... General George ...
- Washington.
-
- He led the British
a merry chase...
- New York, New
Jersey, all over the place.
- With not enough
men to fight,
- He had to stay
in flight.
- Cornwallis said,
"We'll bag the fox;
- Surround him,
hound him into a box."
- But that Britisher
didn't know
- His slyly, wiley
foe.

- He knew in order
to win the race
- He'd have to
pick the time and place
- When the odds
were favoring him,
- But for quite
a while they were dim.
- Retreat, retreat
was like a curse.
- Defeat, defeat
would be even worse.
- So he had to
bide his time,
- Until his time
was prime.

- The Spring of
1781,
- These were the
words of Washington:
- "Enough
of turning back!
- It's time that
we attack!"
- At Yorktown
when it was time to meet,
- Cornwallis suffered
complete defeat;
- And ever since
then ...
- We've not retreated
again!
