-
That way to Allan McLane
-
This
way to George Washington
|
|
-
From
Marblehead Harbor

|
|
-
The
mariners came,
-
Row,
men, row --
 |
|
-
To follow
their captain,

|
|
-
John
Glover by name,
-
Row,
men, row --
 |
|
-
To do
their part
-
at the
country's start,

|
|
-
To march
or saddle a horse.

|
|
-
Or raise
a jib in
-
the
first amphibious force.

|
|
-
Oh .
. . . . . .
-
Row,
men, go, men;
 |
|
-
Pull
that oar and heave ho,
-
men.
 |
|
-
Sea
or land,
-
keep
a steady hand as we go.
 |
|
-
Heave
ho!

|
|
-
When
Washington made his Long Island retreat ...
-
Row,
men, row
 |
|
-
John
Glover performed an impossible feat,
-
Row,
men, row.
 |
|
-
He had
to ferry 9,000 men
-
with
just 9 hours until dawn.
 |
|
-
He worked
all night
 |
|
-
And
by early light
-
they
were gone.
 |
|
-
Oh .
. . . . . .
-
Row,
men, go, men;
 |
|
-
Pull
that oar and heave ho,
-
men.
 |
|
-
Sea
or land,
-
keep
a steady hand as we go.
 |
|
-
Heave
ho!

|
|
-
On Pelham
Bay Shore Glover did it again. Row, men, row --

|
|
-
Held
off an attack with
-
a handful
of men

|
|
-
Row,
men, row --
 |
|
-
To give
the Army some
-
extra
time

|
|
-
Our
man delayed the pursuit.

|
|
-
He lined
up his bucks so

|
|
-
The
foe were ducks in a shoot.
 |
|
-
Oh .
. . . . . .
-
Row,
men, go, men;
 |
|
-
Pull
that oar and heave ho,
-
men.
 |
|
-
Sea
or land,
-
keep
a steady hand as we go;
 |
|
-
Heave
ho!

|
|
-
The
Delaware crossing that
-
Washington
made,
-
Row,
men, row--
 |
|
-
Succeeded
because of John
-
Glover's
brigade.
 |
|
-
Row,
men, row --
 |
|
-
Two
thousand men
-
and
their cannon, too.
 |
|
-
Were
moved 'neath turbulent skies.
 |
|
-
From
this armada ...
 |
|
-
The
Hessians got a surprise!
 |
|
-
Surprise!
! ! ! !
 |
|
-
Row,
men, go men;
 |
|
-
Pull
that oar and heave ho,
-
men,

|
|
-
Sea
or land,
-
keep
a steady hand as we go;

|
|
-
Heave
Ho! ... Heave Ho! ...
-
Heave
Ho!
