Its success was bolstered by recordings and piano rolls, but widespread renditions in amateur shows and fund-raising events attest to its appeal among general citizens and among American troops."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["The structure of the lyrics exactly mirrors the structure of “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier,” with descriptive verses in the third person followed by a refrain in the mother’s voice. The refrain also adheres to the rhyme scheme, with a double rhyme in the penultimate line, and certain lines are direct parallels: “Place a gun upon his shoulder,” for instance, replaces “Who dares to put a musket on his shoulder.”","This is the first variant of the fifth of nine printings, distinguished by the back covers and, in some cases, the printer’s imprint on p. 3. ","Morris promoted this title heavily and issued nine printings of the title in its first nine months; but after a year its popularity began to fade, and by the summer of 1918 it had largely been supplanted in the entertainment industry, though it remained popular in performances by amateurs and at community events. At least nine piano rolls and ten recordings were released."]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"The verse to this otherwise conventional march song is entirely in the relative minor key, and the vamp that leads into it consists of a minor-mode quotation of “Yankee Doodle,” echoed in the first line of the verse."},{"label":"Repository","value":"Sousa Archives and Center for American Music"},{"label":"Rights","value":"No Copyright - United States"},{"label":"Rights Description","value":"This item is in the public domain."},{"label":"Back Cover Description","value":"At top, “Joe Morris Music Co’s Song Supreme,” in ornate frame with silhouette of fairy playing twin pipes, sample: In the Sweet Long Ago (© 1916 10 18).
