  • Published in 1864, with words and music attributed to one, P.Nutt, Esq., a humorous song written by two Georgia soldiers imprisoned at Camp Chase, in Ohio, "Goober Peas" somehow "escaped" and was sung by soldiers in both the Army of Tennessee and the Army of Northern Virginia. This comic song satirizes the limited rations in the Southern armies, which often included "goobers", or peanuts.

    This song even reached England in the days of the 60s folk revival. Some friends and I sang it as a young band in a school folk concert (organised by a visionary music teacher). Pete Seeger was very popular amongst those developing an interest in folk music, so it probably came from his singing. I'm still playing fiddle, and might even have a go at learning the words for old time's sake. Thanks for your lovely version.

    Thanks for posting this! Soldiers of all armies liked to razz civillians and Confederate soldiers were no exception. A boy, about 12 years old, was leading a mule along a line of resting rebels. He had a very tight grip on the rope. "HEY,BOY!" taunted one soldier. "You sure do have a tight grip on your brother there. Are you afraid he might get lost?" Loud laughter came from the resting soldiers. "No",replied the boy. "I'm afraid he might run off and join the army. Complete silence from the resting rebels. From the booklet,Rebel Humor.

      @@jbnnm657 Thanks a lot for that, JB ! Hearing from combat vets like yourself has always meant the world to me personally and to the band at large. After our show in Gettysburg in 2018 (our next-to-last), I was called over to talk to a Yankee artillery officer, who told me how our music was a major factor in getting him thru the nightmare of Fallujah. I mean, wow. We truly regret that the combination of ageing, pc-issues, and covid ultimately spelled the end of a 30+ year run, but there it is. You can't outrun Old Father Time. It was great while it lasted, and it now shows every sign of lasting much, much longer than any of us ever dreamed. We have been well and truly blessed. Blessed to have known each other and made some really excellent music together. Blessed to have had the kind of fans and support of folks like yourself, who have made it all real. Sorry we can't be there for you, JB. Truly. But hopefully, you'll 'stay tuned'. We still have some material to share in the days, weeks, months, and - God willing - years to come. Be well and God bless !

      Our reenacting unit has long since disbanded. Best advice: Google civil war reenactment units near me...
