Helen, thank 'e for the down under version. Now I've learned another version of the ol' Marching song. I like to play the tune at Civil War camps and rile up the rebel camps. Besides it's a fun tune. I was sawing on the fiddle at a small museum a couple years ago and there was a Confederate encampment doing their drills and such. So I started that tune and right away two fellows in butternut come over and I thought, here we go! But they sat down and just listened to me play it. When I got done they said how they liked my playing. So then I was asking them about their camp and they invited me over to meet the seargent. So I was asked to play a tune for him and cut into the same thing. Well he started a fuming and rolling his eyes and grabbing at his revolver. There's the right response! So then I cut into Bonnie Blue Flag and we commenced to visiting. If ever my teasing really gets a confederate riled up, I just go into The Unreconstructed Rebel. I sing that with conviction.
