Thread Name: George Washington crossed the Delaware
Subject: George Washington crossed the Delaware
Does anyone know the words, and/or source, for a song that begins (approximately):

George Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776 He crossed it to the Jersey side Now the place was celebrated for its pottery and bricks Over on the Jersey side

The song probably goes back to the early 1900s, if not before.

Thanks!
