 Molly Pitcher

"Molly Pitcher," a nickname for

American women who fought

The Revolutionary War

For freedom the colonists sought.

A composite for women real

Who on the battlefield did go

With determination that she'll

Be part of history also.

Many were ammunition wives

Who did help their husbands until

Battles did take their husbands' lives.

Molly kept firing that gun still.

A grateful nation thanks them all -

Molly Pitchers heeding the call.
