In the prison cell I sit, thinking mother, dear, of you And our bright and happy home so far away! And the tears they fill my eyes, ‘spite of all that I can do, Though I try to cheer my comrades and be gay! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching! Cheer up, comrades, they will come! And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again of the free land in our own beloved home! In the battlefront we stood when their fiercest charge they made! And they swept us off a hundred men or more! But before they reached our lines they were beaten back, dismayed! And we heard the cry of victory o’er and o’er! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching! Cheer up, comrades, they will come! And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again of the free land in our own beloved home! So within the prison cell we are waiting for the day That you’ll come to open wide the iron door! And the hollow eye grow bright and the poor heart almost gay As we think of seeing home and friends once more! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching! Cheer up, comrades, they will come! And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again Of the free land in our own beloved home! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching! Cheer up, comrades, they will come! And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again Of the free land in our own beloved home!
This song was written in 1864. I imagine Jesus Loves the Little Children came about some 40 to 50 years later, and there are verses to THAT song as well. Most people only sing the refrain of the children's hymn. but here is the full versionruclips.net/video/KI0CRzQXLW8/видео.html. 45 prof; how much later do you think the "Jesus" adaptation of this Civil War song was written?
Wasn't this same song written by Victor Herbert and then used in "Naughty Marietta", both the 1910 Broadway musical and the 1935 movie of the same name?

musicvf goes by 'record chart' appearances, not recording date. The original (pictured) 1907 release was back in the days of the one-sided 78. In 1910 Victor reissued this same track on a differently-numbered 2-sided disc. Because the record apparently sold more copies then than it had in 1907, it qualified for inclusion in Joel Whitburn's "Pop Memories" book (the chart source for musicvf).

We sang this in Grade 7 back in 2003 for Western Music in Ananda College, Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.
This is my favourite song!
In the prison cell I sit, thinking mother, dear, of you
And our bright and happy home so far away!
And the tears they fill my eyes, ‘spite of all that I can do,
Though I try to cheer my comrades and be gay!
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching!
Cheer up, comrades, they will come!
And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again of the free land in our own beloved home!
In the battlefront we stood when their fiercest charge they made!
And they swept us off a hundred men or more!
But before they reached our lines they were beaten back, dismayed!
And we heard the cry of victory o’er and o’er!
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching!
Cheer up, comrades, they will come!
And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again of the free land in our own beloved home!
So within the prison cell we are waiting for the day
That you’ll come to open wide the iron door!
And the hollow eye grow bright and the poor heart almost gay
As we think of seeing home and friends once more!
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching!
Cheer up, comrades, they will come!
And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again
Of the free land in our own beloved home!
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching!
Cheer up, comrades, they will come!
And beneath the starry flag we will breathe the air again
Of the free land in our own beloved home!

No hinário da Assembleia de Deus no Brasil há um hino com essa melodia. "Bem aventurados são os de limpo coração", número 232.

Merci pour le tabac et pour le chant!

i'm confused
this song was recorded in 1907
yet it appears in the 1910 list on musicvf
