As the son of a cavalry officer in the Twenties andThirties, my dad spent many a night camping with troopers of the old Army. One of his favorite memories was the soldiers sitting around the campfire at evening, singing this song. Thanks for posting and bringing me one of Dad's, and my, favorites.
This is by far the best rendition of the song that I've found here. Many of the others are too cheerful or overproduced; yours is emotional and authentic. Thanks!
@MattHucke Oh, this is beautiful. I am just learning this--a couple of guys I sing with are getting ready to sing at a Civil War ball, and this is a wonderful version! Can you suggest some jolly up-tempo numbers for us? All we have inthat department is"Rally 'round the Flag, Boys."
Sang this in Grade school..
