George Washington

To the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

Jennifer and Stefan

In 1732,

George Washington was born,

Self-educated and reliable,

Too soon he had to mourn.

In 1743,

His poor father died

He inherited the Mount Vernon estate

For colonial rights he tried.

He became an officer

In 1753,

Commander of the Virginian Militia

He was filled with glee.

He had a strategic mind

Capable of daring plans

Commander of the Continental army during the Revolution

America’s leading man.

He was elected president

In 1789

He served two consecutive terms

In America’s heart he shines.
