THE SUTLERS’ SONG

(To the tune of Garry Owen)

The Sutlers are coming, hurrah, hurrah

With goods most exotic from near and far

So bring out the family and spend your gold

Purchase some products from days of old

(chorus)

We are the sutlers on the row

We follow the bucks where ‘ere they go

We have the goods you want and need

At exorbitant prices, oh yes, indeed!

There’s weavin’ and woollens and so much more

There’s things for you and the kiddies in store

If you don’t have the cash you can rest assured

We take VISA and Amex and Master Card

So spread the word both high and low

Come buy our stuff and spend your dough

You’re welcome to come and browse and look

But please don’t forget your pocket book

Empty your wallets within our tent

And help a poor sutler to make the rent

Your purchase will fill us all with great cheer

And we’ll be back in your town some time next year    

THE CARTRIDGE CANDY SONG

(To the tune of “Yankee Doodle”)

Oh Yankee Doodle’s cartridge box

Was filled with Cartridge Candy

He took a bite with great delight

Declared that it was dandy

(Chorus)

Yankee Doodle tip it back

Pour it down your muzzle

Taste the powder, chew the ball

And get some more to guzzle

Yankee Doodle bought some rounds

As much as he could swaller

It tastes so good like candy should

You want to up and holler

Now Yankee Doodle loaded up

Got ready for the battle

He poured that powder down his gun

You ought to heard it rattle

The battle’s done, the victory’s won

For George’s rag tag army

They all sat back and ate hard tack

Made sweet with Cartridge Candy

So when you need a candy treat

Come see Sutler Cyrus

So good for you and fun to eat

It really is desi’rus
