Jack Horntip	Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum (66* d)	RE: Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum	19 Apr 25
Under the torches of the soap-box speakers, with tambourines and drums of the Salvation Army for marching tune, moved this battered rearguard of the city's army. "Only a nickel on the drum . . . Are you saved Sister, are you saved? . . . I am washed in the blood of the Lamb . . . Just a dame, lady, for a bed to-night... 1929. The Good Red Bricks by Mary Synon See here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Good_Red_Bricks/3TZHAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22nickel%20on%20the%20drum%22&pg=PA266&printsec=frontcover The Salvation Army has been the butt of three folksongs: "Away Away with Rum by Gum", "Throw a Nickel on the Drum", and the rare "Sister Anna Carry the Banner". Perhaps all related to to the original "Salvation Army, Oh!" (1882) (see here and here).
