Soldier's Joy

from Alan Morley · host Alan Morley

Another example of me 'twisting' traditional tunes. In addition I have strayed from the accepted key of "D" and my version here is in "G". The Folk Police will be after me again ;) Wikipedia: In spite of its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, the term "soldier's joy" has a much darker meaning than is portrayed by the tune. This term eventually came to refer to the combination of whiskey, beer, and morphine used by American Civil War soldiers to alleviate pain.
