Lighter	Origin: All for Me Grog (80* d)	RE: Origin: All for Me Grog	21 Sep 23
I heard Twilight's stanza about the beat-up bed ca1983. Capt. David A. McLeod, "Cape Breton Captain," referring to the 1870s: "I heard the boys singing... "It's all for the grog, boys, the bully, bully grog We work for our rum and tobacco For I have spent all my tin With the girls a-drinking gin And across the briny ocean I must wander." A local parody called "All for the Stripes and the Diamonds" was sung at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1877.
