This originally came from the South, but great tunes can cross even battle lines, and Northerners sang this with relish.

”Wait for the Wagon”

This is Richie Havens singing the anthem of black troops wanting to fight for the Union.

”Give Us a Flag”

You can hear the Scots-Irish lilt in this song from the South.

”Mister, Here’s Your Mule”

And so we wrap up our Memorial Day retrospective of the songs of the Civil War. See you next weekend with more Rockumentary.
