The Mitchell Medley |
**Battle Hymns Of The Mitchell's**
In England, Wales and Scotland, and the Emerald Isle as well,
In USA and Canada, in city, plain and dell,
Where English tongue is spoken - that is where the Mitchell's dwell.
The Clan goes marching on!
Glory to the name of Mitchell!
Glory to the tribe of Mitchell!
Sa-pi-ens qui as-si-du-us!
The clan goes marching on!
Christopher, Dave and Sir Andrew were fathers of our clan;
Andrew was the King's Scotch Chaplin, Nathan was a minute man;
David was a Governor , many Mitchell's died at sea;
Stephen was a US Chief Justice, Mitchell's - they were proud to be!
When you're with the Southern Mitchells meeting
You'll enjoy a happy greeting.
You will stay, every day, all the way, in Dixie Land.
Dixie Mitchell wives are good at cooking
Mitchell girls are sure good looking.
Yes, I know it is so; let us go, to Dixie Land.
Yes, the Mitchells of Old Dixie
Are true, and do
Extend their hands to Mitchell kin
To welcome and their hearts win.
Oh yes, God bless
Our kinsmen of dear Dixie;
Welcome, Mitchell
Our cousins of old Dixie.
There are a "million" Mitchells in
this world - and maybe more -
But we believe we all are kin
As Mitchells were of yore.
So let each Mitchell neighbour be
Your "cousin" and you friend
Your hand of hospitality
Should to them all extend.
