There's an earlier version of this song from either during or just after the Civil War: Have you heard of many a story Told by old and young with joy 'Bout the many deeds of daring that was done by the Johnson Boys They were scouts in the Rebel Army It was known far and wide When the Yankees saw 'em coming They'd throw down their guns and hide. They were lads of skill and courage, though their legacy was poor, and they joined their country's service in that awful Civil War.
