[Dixielandjazz] Some Thanksgiving Jazz

[David M Richoux]

Ginny,

In the E Clampus Vitas version, the lyrics suggest that "She" is a

locomotive!

For all songs of this sort, the Go-To reference is www.mudcat.org -  
there are many discussions about the lyrics and the significance of  
Six White Horse (and such) there.
