Joy,

Thanks for the different version.   I think that "Pop" should also be useful in putting a date to your version.

My wife just pointed out to me that "drum" from the last verse of my version seems to indicate the "Salvation Army". I don't know if this will be useful to date the song, but I can't say I have ever heard a drum used by the Salvation Army; just bells. However, a webpage confirms that they did use drums to "beat people into a salvation meeting."
