This is a song written by Gitz Rice during the Great War. Rice served in The Canadian Army in Europe. He was also a pianist and songwriter and wrote many tunes to entertain his fellow comrades; this one was certainly one of his most popular.
The song was later adopted by the American Armed Forces who turned it into a bittersweet parody of their own circumstances. My version is based on this one, which was first recorded by Lead Belly in 1948, and then by Pete Seeger in 1961.
I used a Collings uke and recorded it on a pile of bark chips at Miss Eugenie's Boot Camp yesterday afternoon. :uhoh:

Thanks for taking a look! Hope you enjoy it. Real simple too, just the three chords F, C and Bb.
