GUEST,guest too Origins:There Was an Old Soldier / Old Tobacco Box (39) RE: Origins:There Was an Old Soldier / Old Tobacco Box 09 Nov 10


Interesting. When my Uncle (born in 1907) used to bounce me on his knee and sing it, the lyrics were
O there was an old soldier and he had a wooden leg
And he had no tobacco; no tobacco would he beg;
So he saved up his boodle and he saved up his (and here I'm missing a word which, if it's not actually 'rocks' - which makes no sense in context - sure sounds like it,is why I'm looking for lyrics in the 1st place)
And he always had tocacco in his old tobacco box.
