 Uive ear unfo my ditty, foil the fruth will tell. 
 Concerning many a foldier who f o'l^w country fc 
 
 Brave General Burgoynefrom Canada fet fail, 
 VHth eight thoufand brave Rcguii'»''s,he thought would never mm- 
 With Indians and Canadians, and ^Tories as we hear, 
 Bcfidcs a fleet of Ihippjng over Lak e Champlam did fteer. 
 
 Before Ticonderoga, the firft day 'Pf J^^Y' 
 Their fleet and army did appear andl^*" " we did them fpy : 
 Their motions we obferved full well ' ^ night and day, 
 And our brave boys prepared all fore* -^Y ^^^Y' 
 
 Our garriibns they viewea ahd flraigl it their troops did land^ 
 When General St. Clair he came to undl^' rfland, .^ 
 
 That the great Mount Defiance they then; would fortify. 
 He jFbund we muft^ furrendertirevcrr* "^ 'ftiuft die.

 It was on July fifth that wc had ofuck ^i etreat. 
 And the next morning left our forts, Burgoyri e he thought us beat. 
 And clofely did purfue us, it was near to Hubljard Town, 
 CXf I'ear guards he defeated, which he thougiit great renown. -<i 
 
 When our Congrefs came to hear that we ou|t" forts had left. 
 And that we had retreated near Albany to reft i ^ 
 Brave General Gates they fcnt us our country to 'Retrieve, 
 With (bouts and acclamations with joy we him r6 ceivc. 
 
 Burgoyne fcnt out a party of fifteen hundred mt°n. 
 With Heflians and Canadians came near to Bennin^ ^ton, 
 With favages and T^es our cattle for to fteal. 
 Commanded by Mmry, they call'd him Colonel Sk^ 'en. 
 
 Brave Gates our bold commander, hearing of Sl^ een's condud. 
 He fent out a fmall party his march for to obftru(5V- } 
 Wetook all their Artillery and Skeen his fate may, mourn. 
 For of fifteen hundred men fcarce five hundred did return. 
 
 Burgoyne then finding out that his fcemes wouUd notfucceed. 
 He then with his Artillery and army did proceedj 
 Thinking for to frighten us and make us for to flV/, 
 Soon he found out his mirtake, he found we wouBid fooner die.

 The fifteenth of September, the morning fairiand clear. 
 Brave Gates he faid unto his men, my boys be of \\good cheer, - 
 
 ^fought them full fix hours li kc valiant hearts of gold, 
 h party fcorn'd for to give way,! we fought like Britons bold, 
 ,il the leaves wifli blood were ftah^i'dour General then did ery, 
 Diamond cut l!)iamond, fight on v until we cie. 
 
 ..The niph*^ being coming on to our (jines we did retreat, 
 !Vi^'hich made the Britons lor to think twr army it was beat, 
 Bi it arly the next morning they beheld^ before their eyes, 
 V Vi-vrere ready to engage again, which diid them much furprife. 
 
 Then fighting they feem'd tired of, therejfore to work they go, 
 .jTofbury all the dead, and Intrenchments up they throft', 
 Thinking thereby with (hot and (hells our arrny to dcftroy, 
 jjiut Gates be kept fuch orders that he did thenn defy. 
 
 t^y began a cannonading from eveffrtibunfein hill, 
 i»*^tir brave boys return'd the fame with a rig^tgood will ; 
 .ird then they threw both Ihoi anJ Ihells enouglkto terrify 
 ^urhtr .6 had wc^ been Garfars,yet neither part vi'(>|idfty. 
 
 . I The great Almighty God he infpired brave Gatcs'g^ind, • 
 *To fend out General Arnold to fee if he could find, .% 
 4^ paflTage through the enemy, and make them for to fle^ 
 
 Which he at laft completediuid fetour country free._ 
 
 * They burned all their baggage they fled with hafte andTear,* 
 And up to Saratoga Burgoyne with his troops did fteer; 
 ibrave Gates our bold commander Toon after him did hie, 
 ife^folving for to take them or every man to die. 
 
 % Then (bon we overtook them, it was near to Saratogue, 
 Which they had burnt, as they had done all houlesin their road; 
 Thcfixteenthof Oiflober was forced to capitulate, 
 .prgoyne and all his army they were our prifoners m*lc, 
 
 j/l As for the Britifli foldiers.they fought likehearts of gold, 
 I lAnd fcorn'd as long as I-fc does laft ever tojbe controul'd ; ' 
 ^ut as for the proud He (Hans they prov'd <fg|afd!y of late, 
 ,J?or they refus'd to fight us, which canted fliir defrat.

 But to maintain our ccantry's right we'll fight uiv^nl we die. 
 
 The news was quickly brought us, their army iR was near. 
 And our brave boys did meet them, all withoutqreador fear; 
 It was a^rout Still- Water, we met about noon day, ] 
 And quickly you] (hall hear my boys began a blood|y fray. 
 
 )r So to conclude my ditty, my fong is .h an end, 
 I I hope no bold American will fl^ht what I have

 Brave Gates will clear America before another year.
