As one of the most irreverent SOB's around, I must say that this little ditty is one of the worst pieces of tripe and epitomizes the worst that C&W has to offer. Should be sung immediately prior to the Steve Goodman song in the "General Purpose C&W Song" thread.

A little additional information...

Phil Harris (voice of Baloo in Disney's Jungle Book) also recorded it in the 50's too. he was the one that used the "I know this story's true... because I was that soldier" line. I once had a recording of this on a 2 cassette set called: "that's what i like about phil harris" and i haven't been able to find it; any help in this would be appreciated.

Maybe I go back further, but I recall T. Tex Tyler doing the song or recitation.

Is it me or don't people read threads before adding to them? Or is this all part of some fiendish plot to make us all conform by threatening to ask for the "deck of cards" lyrics every time we stray from the prescribed "wholsome" path.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhnnnn

Paranoically yours

As Bill indicated, this story pre dates any recording so claims to authorship are incorrect. I remember hearing this told in a civil war (English that is) context. My history master was a Scot, so that may tie in with the cutting which Bill refered to at greater length in the previous thread.

Ps I suppose we ought to thank whoever did that awful C&W version for one of the enduring comedy throw away lines usable in virtually any situation: "I was that soldier."

All, Red Solvine also recorded this and at the end of his recording he indicated that he wrote it due to it happening with his son. I am also looking for the words. If any of you have record shops that deal with oldies but goodies you may find it there. sense I am at work I will check this option out later. Bill in Alabama if you get a moment would you copy the words down and send them to the web site for us. Thanks.

And Les Barker has recorded a parody of "Deck of Cards", called something like "In The Seven Years' War of the Spanish Succession".

Peace. Paul

For historical purposes: I have a copy of "The Deck of Cards" which was clipped out of a newspaper and pasted into an old scrapbook in the late 1870's."
