This turned up in a CW newsgroup from a chap in Alaska. As I recall he found a hand written songbook belonging to a relative in the war:

Greetings from the tip of the nunatak...

OK - here we go with the titles that I can find this evening. I dug out the stuff my GGF left, and probably missed a BUNCH of stuff.

Here is what I've found so far:

The hand written lyrics are entitled: "Viva La America" Refrain and one chorus

"Bonnie Eloise" Appears to be 3 Choruses

"Annie Lish" One refrain

"The Continentals Farewell" 3 Parts Labelled

"Rock me to Sleep Mother" Two parts, one Chorus done twice

"Anna of the Vale" Two parts, one Chorus

"Linda Love" Seven parts

The Handwritten paper ends with: Songs as sung by "illegible" while "Prisoners of War" In the state of Louisiana and Texas. Copied from papers belonging to Lieut Geo. Johnston a.a.

Co. B, 19th Iowa Volunteers, Barrancas Florida, Sept 21st and 22nd 1864. Oscar G. Burch, Sgt Major 19th Iowa Vols. Regards, Mike Pickett, aka Gruff --------------------------------------------------------

I figure as Mr. Pickett saw fit to present this to the CW newsgroup he wouldn't object to my passing it along to this group. I'm doing so that you may see what other songs were being sung besides the "top forty" that we all know.
