Subject: RE: The Song Nobody Knows

Thanks Ri Jo, I know that song (for me circa 1944 in Wash DC.) It is to the tune of Auld Lang Saing (sp?) The first line is just "man" not "old" man
The sencod verse: Now these two sons are dead and gone// Long may their spirits rest// Josephus of the cholora died// Bohunkus by request.
I never heard any other verses.
Definitely not the tune of my song
