Thanks, Sorcha! But where did the augmented song come from, I wonder. And the song as given in the link doesn't have the words or tune for the "brave boys died" lines.

The site says the song was written in 1858. Obviously pro-Lincoln. I wonder if the further verses were added by someone in the south to put a different spin on it?

I just tried to call a local man who brought back the song from Pittsburgh PA a few years ago. Didn't reach him but I'll try again later.

Again, thank you.
