I was afraid that it was a song that would be lost with her generation. She used to sing another verse, also. The part of that verse I remember goes:<br /><br />"Way down in the cornfield<br /> Can't you hear the thunder<br /> That's the sound of forty-pounder guns<br /> When the shells are missing <br /> We load up with pumpkins<br /> Just for to see the cowards run" <br /><br />Now that you've provided a lead, I hope to find a copy of the sheet music to play on the piano.

Cousin Hazel Kirkwood Fowler Armstrong Staylor sang this in a tiny part in 1980 for me and I recorded it, but didn't know the title. Bravo for family stories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
