"My trip to Vally Forge"

This is an old song about the “Valley Forge” days. You know, that fateful blistery winter when the “Those Old Valley Forgers” were eating their shoe leather soup and fighting all about the bilious fever and flux and louse-borne typhus. But, they all found their way through it to win the next Five battles around with the deadly Prussians. The Men used to sing this old song before them, when into their battles they went together. And Good thing too, because I think it was fucken hard out there, I can’t even imaging it for myself.

The young Men of Valley Forge
They fought all night, but died at day
They the young men all spilled their blood
They all fought for God and Men
On snowy days there was heard their cry
They the young men all spilled their blood
Their will cannot be killed
The young Men of Valley Forge
Their tombs will scatter the fields
They fought the flux and died, but won
They the young men all spilled their blood
On snowy days there was heard their cry
