"If ponies rode men and grass ate the cows"
Just What Tune was in the Air when
The World Turned Upside Down?
by Dennis Montgomery

Name the song the British bands played when General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington at Yorktown in 1781. Yes, it's a trick question, and, tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . time's up. If you said "The World Turned Upside Down," chances are good you are wrong. The correct response is: No one knows for sure.

Interesting. . .

Don't remember where, but the lines I remember
from 'The World Turned Upside Down' included

If horses rode men
and the other way around
then all the World
Would be Turned Upside Down. . .

Thanks for the response,
I haven't had time to follow your link yet.

Cheers!
