"Lloyd Bridges played Mike _NELSON_ on Sea Hunt when we were kids."

We watched his show too. Leslie Neilson played Revolutionary War Hero Francis Marion in the mini-series titled "The Swamp Fox" that aired in 1959 on "The Magical World of Disney." I can still remember the lyrics of the chorus from the theme song.

(Chorus)
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat
Nobody knows where the Swamp Fox is at
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, hiding in the glen
He runs away to fight again

(Verse 1)
Got no blankets, got no beds
Got no roof above our heads
Got no shelter when it rains
All we got is Yankee brains

(Chorus)
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat
Nobody knows where the Swamp Fox is at
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, hiding in the glen
He runs away to fight again

(Verse 2)
Got no cornpone, got no honey
All we got is Continental money
Won't buy bacon, hominy, or grits
Rodent ears and possum is all we get!

(Chorus)
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat
Nobody knows where the Swamp Fox is at
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, hiding in the glen
He runs away to fight again

Those Swamp Fox episodes are on youtube. Quality not that great but I loved that show as a kid.
