Dr. Joseph Warren,1770

3. FATHER AND I WENT DOWN TO CAMP (Yankee Doodle) -
Harvard College student, 1776

4. CHESTER -
Boston tunesmith, William Billings, 1778 (alternate text, 1786)

Important Historical Fact:

Song no. 2 is often titled "Free America"

and dated 1774.

But this song was written by Dr. Joseph Warren in 1770

and is more accurately titled,

"Brave America" since those words are used

in every verse of the song not "Free America."

For example these words in the 3rd verse

from the original broadside sheet:

We led fair FREEDOM hither, when lo the Desert smil’d,
        A Paradise of Pleasure, was open’d in the Wild;
        Your Harvest bold AMERICANS! No Power shall snatch away,
         Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves, my brave AMERICA.

You will also receive audio performances of the four patriotic songs,

including the first American protest song ("The Liberty Song")

and what is believed to be the

original version of "Yankee Doodle" from the American Revolution

written by a Harvard College student.

These patriotic songs were compiled

by American Music Preservationist, Roger Hall,


Director of the Center for American Music Preservation.

These songs are useful for teachers, students, singers,
or anyone interested in American history.
