Allan S. Lyr Req: Piddlin' Pete / The Runt (56* d) RE: Piddlin Pete 10 Dec 98

Do I have to help everyone out? But seeing that I started this thread searching for "Down from the hill came Piss Pot Pete" which evolved/degenerated to the Piddling pup, here it is.

Page 182 of "G.I. Songs" by E.A. Palmer, Sheridan House, 1944. THE PIDDLIN PUP by Jo Anderson. Melody: The Whistler and His Dog. It also has a woodcut and the following quote.

"This lovely ballad was sent in by one of the commanding officers of a naval base in the West. He writes that it has been a favorite of his men for years, and it is gaining new glory and new favor with the new men from gob to captain and up."

I believe "The Whistler and His Dog" was a popular song back to the turn of the Cent. There was a part of the song that was whistled.
