Hi Steve glad you're back,

TY for the help with Phoebe's version.

I did find out some other info on the traditional version of "Polly Wand." Another book dates it 1777 and gives Massachusetts as the location and "oral tradition?" I'm trying to find out the supposed source-- they just say it's from oral tradition. ["Polly Wand" from The Diary of the American Revolution, 1775-1781 - Page 239, 240 by Frank Moore, ‎John Anthony Scott - 1967.] I did post the text above which has an added chorus from Paul Clayton.
