Thread Name: another girl scout tune about cabin by a stream
Subject: RE: another girl scout tune about cabin by a stream
Warsaw the 42nd might be what I learned as Wall saw the 42nd:

Wall saw the 42nd, Wall saw them goin' to war
Wall saw the 42nd marching through the bramble braw.

Zumdeba wore boots and stockings, Zumdeba wore none at all
Zumdeba wore boots and stockings, marching through the bramble braw.

I was told that "wall saw" meant we all saw, and "Zumdeba" meant some of them.   ???

I was in the Girl Scouts in the 1950's, so it is a surprise the way some of these songs are still in memory.
