Your politics are totally nuts, but you do have very good taste in music as witnessed by your posts on here and John's previous music articles.

The Girl I Left Behind Me-  Songs Of The Union Army

U.S. military use in the 19th century

The song was popular in the US regular army, who adopted it during the War of 1812 after they heard a British prisoner singing it. [11]   The song was used by the army as a marching tune throughout the 19th century.

These are the lyrics popular by the army in the 19th century:

I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill
And over the moor that's sedgy
Such lonely thoughts my heart do fill
Since parting with my Betsey

I seek for one as fair and gay
But find none to remind me
How sweet the hours I passed away
With the girl I left behind me

Although I'm a Canadian I've always been moved by a military choir singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and I think The Star-Spangled Banner is the best anthem of any nation.  I don't need to post the songs - everyone should know them very well.  As for folk songs, it's already been named - This Land is Your Land.
