As a Civil-War reenactor with the 3rd Maine Volunteer Infantry Fife & Drum Corps, Camp Balladeer and collector of this sort of music, I can assure you that this song may well find it's way to the circle of friends around the campfire of our illustrious Unit. A similar tune, "The Atrocity Song" to be found amidst the Mudcat collection, is a favorite of the Old 3rd's, a rousing rendition of which may be heard lustily rendered at nearly any gathering of the Company Loyals. Thanks to all who dug this one up - I trust it will be entered into the Archives.(?)
