ODE TO THE PILGRIMS AND INDIANS.
The Pilgrims sailed from London to the New World,
To escape persecution historians did say;
They sailed aboard The Mayflower,
And landed on Plymouth Rock one Autumn Day.
_______________________________________________________
The Pilgrims and The Indians made peace,
The Women and the Indian Squaws made peace,
William Bradford and Squanto made peace.
And they shared in that First Thanksgiving Feast.

ODE TO THE EARLY AMERICAN SETTLERS.
Parody by William E. Baxter.
(Sung to the Tune of the Old Country Gospel Song: “Oh Lord We Thank You.")
CHORUS:
Oh Lord we thank you,
We really thank you.,
We thank you all the days of our lives!
Oh Lord we thank you,
We really thank you,
We thank you all the days of our lives.
