Just heard a tune ( While Harold Lajoie was trouncing me at Carthage ) that I have heard differnt words to but cannot recall..

the tune on the Oarzk disk is called:

"I go to fight mit Sigel"

Cute tune [:D]

does anyone know of different versions ( different words ) to the same tune ?

General Corbin,

Are you kidding? I'm still trying to figure out the words to THIS version. (If those d*** Dutch would have just sung in English ... !)

I first heard that song at a civil war reenactment at Prarie Grove State Park. One of the guys in our unit was a volunteer ranger at the park and started singing it as we marched along. By the time he was finished we were laughing so hard it was all we could do to stand up.

Good luck in your search.


Your humble servant,
Gen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory

For anyone who is interested in the Lyrics

Ven I comes from der Deutsche Countree, I vorks somedimes at baking,
Und den I runs a beer-saloon, und den I tries shoe-making.
But now I march mit musket out to safe dot Yankee Eagle,
Dey dress me up in soldier's clothes to go and fight mit Sigel.

CHORUS
Yah, das is true, I shpeaks mit you. Ve goes to fight mit Sigel.


I gets ein big tam rifle gun und puts him to mine shoulder,
Den I march around like a big jackhorse or maybe someding bolder;
I goes off mit de volunteers to save der Yankee Eagle;
To give dem Rebel vellers fits, I goes to fight mit Sigel.


For rations dey gives salty pork. I dinks dat vas a great sell;
I petter likes der sauerkraut, der Schnitzel-kase und bretzel.
If Fighting Joe will give us dem, ve'll save der Yankee Eagle,
Und I'll put mine vrou in breech-a-loons to go and fight mit Sigel.


Ve Deutschen mens mit Sigel's band at fighting got no rival;
Und ven Cheff Davis mens ve meet, ve schlauch em like de devil.
Der's only von ting vot ve fear ven pattling for der Eagle,
Ve vont get not no lager beer ven ve goes to fight mit Sigel.

This tune is siumilar to either :

1- She wore a Yellow Ribbon - From "Fort Apache"

John Wanye/Henry Fonda post Civil War flick

or

2 - I LEFT MY LOVE - From "The Horse Soldiers"

John Wayne/William Holden Civil War flick

I like both movies a lot...
