%% This tune originated in England as a song mocking Americans,
%% who adopted it as a military march to taunt the British soldiers during the Revolution.
%% Some versions of the tune are much older than the Revolutionary era song.
%% The parts are often repeated in instrumental versions, but usually not for the song.
%% It's also in some old collections in jig time, often as Kitty Fisher's Jig.
