A NEW SONG.
Composed by a Soldier in the Continental Army.
(To the tune of the Black-Sloven.)
Tho' some folks may tell us, it is not so clever
To handle a musket in cold frosty weather;
By yonder bright Congress, in spite of all such,
I'll tarry this season, and take t'other touch.
. . . [7 more verses, burden: "take t'other touch."]
