My name is Daniel Martin,

voiceand Ralph E. Roberts for Mary Celestia Parler Transcribed by James Ward Lee Collected by James Ward Lee Sung by Albert Harrison Hindsville, Arkansas Bohannon Community August 7, 1958 and Ralph E. Roberts Reel 244, Item 7 Daniel Martin My name is Daniel Martin, I was born in Arkansas; I left my aged parents, I left my loving wife; I was forced to go to Rolla, It was all to save my life. I joined in Phelp's regiment, I'm not ashamed to tell. The colonel and the officers, All treated us very well; They dearly loved the union, They loved their boys too; And for to make us happy, They tried what they could do. We met them at Cross Hollow, And there we had a fight. We killed old Ben McCollough, Likewise old McIntosh; We shot old Sterling through the arm, We sent them in a rush; There was a young leiutenant, Whose name was Charlie Moss; And on a bed of sickness, Charlie was always nigh.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
