Regimental Song

THE REBELS.

(Tune: Black Joak)

Perhaps no song written during the American War of Independence better illustrates the Loyalist point of view. These angry, sarcastic lyrics are some of the most emotional left behind by the Loyal Americans.

Lyric’s: Captain Smyth, Simcoe’s Queen’s Rangers.

(Originally published in the Pennslyvania Ledger 1778)

Special credit to the American historian Christopher New for rediscovering the above song
