YANKEE DEWEY. Tune-"Yankee Doodle." by Richard J. Beamish. 
Oh! Yankee Dewey had a fleet and gallant Yankee sailors; No fear knew he, this brave Dewey, of guns or mines or Weylers. 
Chorus. Yankee Dewey, keep it up, Yankee Dewey, steady; Keep your eye and powder dry, and with your guns be ready. 
From Hong Kong Dewey's fleet was forced with coal he first did fill her: Then said, "My men, we'll coal again off yonder in Manila." - Chorus. 
The Spanish Ships fled to the forts, but Dewoy came right after. His guns' black lane called loud "The Maine!" his shells shrieked awful laughter.- Chorus 
The Spaniards saw no loopholes there, if to the trees they hied them, Old Dewey soon, in a balloon, would be up there beside them.- Chorus. 
Yankee Dewey kept it up, Yankee Dewey, steady; He kept his eye and powder dry, and with his guns was ready.-Chorus.
