Thanks, this Civil War info is something I didn't know about their program. But the song I'm referring to is not Hard Times by Stephen Foster, which I know and have often heard in song circles.

In the song I'm trying to locate (on one of their CD's but of course I forget which one), the singer talks about working (at a mill?) and never having enough to get by - a real working person's lament that has not become any less pertinant with time, alas. The last line is something like, "even when you pass on , you are still in the hole."There's also some verse about giving your money to the doctor until you have none left , and then you can die if you please. (ha ha)

Roger? Anyone?
