My guess is that if you do tae-bo, you can easily throw a continental soldier over your shoulder.

Yes, yes. I realize this. And this was always the idea I had– that of soldiers and muskets, I mean– when my mother sang it to me. It was just in the writing of it that I realized that the antecedent is all wrong, and I, too, found the image amusing.

Continental soldiers throw rifles or muskets or somesuch over their own shoulders…and by throw over they probably mean throw ‘on’. I don’t think it means throwing the soldiers themselves over YOUR shoulders. Though that is an amusing image…
