Princess Pat (song)

"Princess Pat" is a 1917 North American song, popular to sing at campfires.

[1] It began as a military cadence of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.

The Princess Pat (The Princess Pat) Light Infantry (Light Infantry) She sailed across (She sailed across) The seven seas (The seven seas)

Now Captain Jack, (Now Captain Jack) Had a mighty fine crew, (Had a mighty fine crew) They sailed across (They sailed across) The channel too, (The channel too)

In the circle are gold initials V P which stand for Victoria Patricia.

The regimental colours became known as the "Ric-A-Dam-Doo", reportedly from the Gaelic for "cloth of your mother".
