In both tune and text, Howe clearly sought to link America's entry into the war with the recruitment of troops in the Civil War: “Benny Havens, Oh!” was a popular Civil War tune, and Howe's text recalls “We Are Coming, Father Abraham,” a Civil War poem that was sometimes sung to the same tune."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["This was the only printing, and no piano rolls or recordings have been found, nor any performances or advertisements.","The imprint reads “for sale at” C. W. Thompson; Howe probably self-published the song, with Thompson acting as retailer.","The date is taken from Howe's own entry in Who's Who in America (1921). The immediate motivation for this song might have been a celebrated cartoon with the same title published by J. H. Cassel in the Evening World (New York, NY) on June 6, 1916."]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"A simple march ballad (“Moderato”) set for four-part chorus, with fermatas in the penultimate line, this song provides a new text for “The Wearing of the Green,” to which the text to “Benny Havens, Oh!” had been set in the early nineteenth century. The melody is quoted in full in a standard four-part arrangement that is nearly identical to that found in Songs That Never Grow Old (1913)."},{"label":"Dedication","value":"Dedication"},{"label":"Subject - Topic","value":["World War, 1914-1918","Songs and music","Popular music","Recruiting and enlistment","United States.
