Song
"The French and Indian war"
"The French and English had a war, just because of trade,
The French were protecting their maize and furs,
But the English they got paid"


"King William's War was the first battle of the French Indian War,
This battle the French, they won, but the English said
That they want more"


"You know those tall fancy English hats, were made out of beaver furs,
I don't know why, don't know why, English tried, to make the Beaver
Wars occur"


"Soon after that came the attack, on Deerfield Massachu---SETTS!
The French won this battle, pushed the English like Cattle,
The French said burn it?... LETS! "


"The English got back, with the attack, on Louisburg, put them
The lead! The colonies grew,
Most of the wars threw, just need to sign the peace treat—ey!"


"Come on you English, just burn down Quebec, it's not that hard of a plan,
Just climb up that rock, and at 1 o' clock,
Fight until the war's end"


"That is exactly what they did, George Washington
Won the war! But with all of this tax, the colonies said, "MAX"
Go see what this is for."
