Thread Name: Any May songs?
Subject: RE: Any May songs?
    THE FIREMAN COWBOY   aka  THE TRUSTY LARIAT , has the stanza,

Oh we will all remember
That forty-fifth of May
For there were many gallant hearts
All filled with fear that day


That's not a typo – the lyrics really do refer to the 45th of May, intentionally. The full lyrics are at
