GUEST,ajanus	Lyr ADD: Chamber Lye / John Harloson's Saltpeter (87* d)	A Curious Civil War Song	05 Aug 00
I'm trying to track down a Confederate song for a friend - he swears it truly exists. It seems that Southern women were asked to save their urine for the production of nitre, or saltpeter, and a song was composed about the situation. The song is said to be unabashedly bawdy and apparently describes the process quite graphically. Ring any bells? Allan Janus
