GUEST,Noel Origins: Ants Go Marching... (27) Origins: Ants Go Marching... 19 Apr 05

Everyone knows the children's song about the ants going marching one by one (and so on); we also know that the tune is the American civil war tune When Johnny Comes Marching Home--but does anyone know when the Johnny song first acquired its "ant" lyrics? I learned it when I was a kid in the 1960s, but I'm certain it's much older than that. Any takers?
