'The Grass Harp' Original Broadway Cast - Finale: Yellow Drum

Copied!

{DOLLY}
March down the valley
Yellow drum, yellow drum
Farewell my sally
Yellow drum, yellow drum

Victory boys, keep a-comin'
Yellow drum, keep a-drummin'
March down the valley
To the river, yellow drum

{DOLLY & COLLIN}
Swim 'cross the river
Yellow drum, yellow drum
Soldier, don't shiver
Yellow drum, yellow drum

Victory boys, keep a-comin'
Yellow drum, keep a-drummin'
Swim 'cross the river
To the city, yellow drum

{EVERYONE}
Conquer the city
Yellow drum, yellow drum
Show them no pity
Yellow drum, yellow drum
Victory boys, keep a-comin'
Yellow drum, keep a-drummin'
Show them no pity
In the city, yellow drum

Brassbands'll meet you
Yellow drum, yellow drum
Sweet girls'll greet you
Yellow drum, yellow drum

Victory boys, keep a-comin'
Yellow drum, keep a-drummin'
Back 'cross the river to the valley
Yellow drum
Back 'cross the river to the valley
Yellow drum
Yellow drum
Yellow drum!
