| Comment | The only marketing appears to have been on the covers of other Lloyd Garrett songs, where this title was listed together with others as “Songs of the Camps.” But there is no mention in trade journals, and the song appears to have made little impact. |
| Historical Note | The song was included in McKinley’s Army and Navy Song Folio No. 1 (August 1918). On the cover of “Private Alexander,” “Private Arkansaw Bill” is listed together with other Lloyd Garrett titles as “Songs of the Camps.” “Private Alexander” was issued after May 1918. |
| Musical Note | A conventional waltz song with chromatic inflections and skilled use of stop-time articulations. |
