Their most thrilling experience was
in the trenches at Vicksburg during
the famous siege. While singing Rally
Round the Flag" among the union
forces, their voices were recognized by
old Chicago friends on the rebel side,
who shouted hearty salutation, ac
companied by, a cordial invitation to
visit the confederate lines. 1t was at
General McPherson's headquarters that
julie heard an old darby servant sing
ing an unpublished melody, which the
negro called "Old Shady" 1t at once
attracted the attention of the war
singer. The words are as follows:
Oh. yah! yah! darkies laugh with me,
