Dear Mark (McCormick),
(A little late, we've bin away.)
Which "Man of War" is that?
The Jackson 5?
Or the Lizzie Miles' version from January 1930?
'My Man O' War' (Williams)
"I have myself a military man ... he has me livin' on an Army plan."
Lena Wilson also did it in July 1931. 
Kind regards,
Bill.
