Thanks for the excellent posts and lyrics.

Many suspect that the Johnson Boys originated as a Civil War song becuase of the lyrics- No proof yet.

Does anyone know the history of Doran's Ass- Laws Q19 in the US? There's a Pennsylvania folk song, "Dolan's Ass" that is derived from it. There might be some early connection because Pennsylvania is not far from North Carolina and is also a Civil War area.

Anyone have a version of Dolan's Ass?
