10."FROSTY THE RANGER"
Frosty the Ranger
Was a jolly happy soul
with a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made of coal
Frosty the Ranger
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the soldiers Know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old tricorne hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to fire his musket around
Frosty the Ranger
Was alive as he could be
And the soldiers say
He could load and fire
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Ranger
Knew the French were close that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
And blow them all away
Down to Fort Carillon
With a musket in his hand
Running here and there all around the land
Firing as fast as he can
He led them down to Fort Carillon
Right to the French breast works
And he only paused a moment when he heard Abercrombie holler "Frontal Assault"
And led men to their graves
Frosty the Ranger
Had to hurry back this way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
"French, We'll be back again some day!"
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
He'll be back in 59'
