The Iron Merrimack
With others at her back
Commanded by Buchan-eye-an the grandee-o
From Norfolk started out
For to put us all to rout
And to make an end of Yankee Doodle Dandy-o
The Cumberland went down
Minnesotee ran aground
Which made the Yankee cause look quite dishearted-o
When, hark, three hearty cheers
the Merr-Monitor appears
And the music struck up Yankee Doodle Dandy-o
The rebel shot flew hot
But the Yankees answered not
Till they got within a distance neat and handy-o
Said bold Worden to his crew
"boys, we'll see what we can do
When we fight for little Yankee Doodle Dandy-o
