GUEST,Bob Coltman | Going to German. What does it mean? (27) | RE: Going to German. What does it mean? | 29 May 23 |
I always assumed that Gus Cannon was singing about going over to Germany to fight during World War I, perhaps an old verse he'd made up (or heard) that found its way into an unrelated song. Buyers of the record would no doubt have understood and bought the record because of the near-contemporary reference. |
