I think this was sung in the Red Badge Of Courage (or maybe I learned about it at the same time I was reading that book? Memory is weird like that and mine tends to bleed when I prod it…)

Don't reckon they were singing about Adi having one ball during the American Civil War...

Oh, you are right. Maybe I was thinking of “The Scarlet Letter”

I ALSO remember seeing it in class in a movie that was for a book we had to read. It wasn't that book though, that's about the civil war. I think it was A Separate Peace.

Yes! Thanks - I totally had re-titled it in my mind. I must have read them birth the same year…
