YouTube recommended one of these after "The Lincolnshire Poacher," and so I started listening to the two albums of Civil War songs, one North, one South, that Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded. Here's one from each.
As is typical for folk songs, the tunes are both repurposed. Obviously the first one is adapted from the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The second one is to the tune of Bonnie Dundee.
