From the 1973 album "America, why I Love Her" this is the story, as told by John Wayne, of how the tattoo "taps" was written in 1862 following the "Seven Days Battle" in Virginia.
You can get all of the songs at youtube for “America, why I Love Her”
TAPS was ruined for me about 60 years ago when a cartoon had this little diddy on it.
So farewell, and good by,
Down you go, in the snow, you must die..
With the M-O-O-SEBERRY BUSH.....
Yep. Rocky and his Friends with the evil Boris Badenov singing.
Thanks
