"The World Turned Upside Down" is an English ballad. It was first published on a broadside in 1643 as a protest against the policies of Parliament relating to the celebration of Christmas. Although there is no conclusive evidence, tradition has it that when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, the British and German Bands played this tune while the American and French Bands played "Yankee Doodle". (Midi file sequenced by John Renfro Davis) The music is courtesy of the Lesley Nelson Folk Music Site: Popular Songs in American History.
