Thread Name: Folklore: Amazing Grace. Should We Be Singing it??
Subject: RE: Folklore: Amazing Grace. Should We Be Singing
"Why should the Devil have all the best tunes?" I think that was General William Booth who founded the Salvation Army. That's what the Sally Army says anyway, and they wouldn't be fibbing. Of course he might have been quoting Luther or Wesley.

Champagne Charlie is said to have been the tune in question. With a rewritten set of words.
