Little House in the Big Woods features Pa singing an alternate version of Yankee Doodle in chapter two, Winter Days and Winter Nights. Here are the lyrics for the version in the book.
Yankee Doodle Lyrics
And there he saw some great big guns,
Big as a log of maple,
And every time they turned em round,
It took two yoke of cattle.
And every time they fired em off,
It took a horn of powder,
It made a noise like father’s gun,
Only a nation louder.
And I’ll sing Yankee Doodle-de-do,
And I’ll sing Yankee Doodle,
And I’ll sing Yankee Doodle-de-do,
And I’ll sing Yankee Doodle!
