General Gates gave up his fight Before gathering his troops he fled
Because in Camden on that night American blood was shed
The command of those troops was given to Greene
These times for him were hard
Soldiers' wounds were not kept clean. His hopes and men were scarred
More troops from Southern states were added to these men
Greene divided his army in half And somehow outsmarted Cornwallis then!
Cornwallis knew that he'd been beat So later retreated and faced defeat
But British had come up with a plan
And chased Greene and his men to the Dan
The Americans swiftly crossed first
The river looked about to burst
The British got to the river to find That they were simply left behind
And once again had they been beat And suffered and faced defeat
We owe a lot to Greene's strategy And him and his men's victory!
