timothy.kelly	Origins: Garryowen (101* d)	Tune Req: garryowen	07 Aug 03
I'm a US Cavalry Officer and have heard the tune for Garryowen countless times, from Army bands to Derek Warfield's "Sons of Erin". And I have read the lyrics about "Bacchus's sons...etc." here on mudcat. I'm trying to find a recording, though, of someone actually singing the song. I know there is a scene in THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON (Errol Flynn) where they gather around a piano and sing but the lyrics are a total 1930s whitewash. I want the song about beating constables and gettinmg drunk, a song that would appeal to a real cavalry trooper stuck out on the frontier. kelly@armyocs.com
