Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs
Thanks for that. The version I know of Devil Will be My Sergeant has the line "Forty I got for selling my coat", meaning lashes. I wish there were more verses.

That's an excellent site Mary. It doesn't seem to have exactly the stuff I was looking for, which was more in the line of marching chanteys for people who are exhausted and ready to give serious consideration to having their feet amputated. However, it was great fun listening to those old recordings.
