Subject: RE: Poetry: Hoosier fiddle poem, 1885
Indianapolis Journal (April 4, 1900):

“W. H. Newby [a Civil War veteran] also contributed to the spirit of the evening...with selections of [sic] the ‘fiddle,’ as ‘The Fisher’s Hornpipe,’ ‘Old Dan Tucker,’ ‘Money Musk,’ ‘The Arkansas Traveler,’ and ‘Johnnie Fill Up the Bowl.’”

The last is a once-familiar title for the melody of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" tricked out with other lyrics.
