It was recorded by an ex-miner from the Southern Appalachian (Kentucky?) called George Tucked, and issued on Lp on Rounder. George Tucker. Rounder        0064.

I can't access either the LP or my database at the moment, so apologies for the vagueness. However, GT's version was pretty much as above, except it had a verse about one of the soldiers putting his false teeth in his back pocket. Guess what, "The doggone teeth bit him when he sat down".
