Hi all, i am trying to find out about the song that grandpa sing's on his way to the back porch, right before he has his heart attack in the episode from the 3rd season " THE BIRTHDAY". he's singing about the independent farmer but i don't know if that's the name. any info on the song would be great. thanks

Grandpa sings the War Between the States song Tenting Tonight on the Old Campgrounds

your right tracey he sings that song too, but the song i'm looking for is right in the begining when he go's to the back porch to find something.

EZ, now I have to go watch that part to see what you're referring to!

[Tracey]

I know what you mean ez. The way he goes off singing like A soldier's praise at arm's in my heart I'll always keep the independant farmer. I've done some research but no luck on the title but I'll try to keep researching more..

I googled different phrases and came up with nada...

Sounds like it's a soldier's song but can't find it...

it must be an old song but it's strange that we can't find anything about it online. maybe grandpa made it up?

It has to be part of the Civil War song. It could be possible that Will Geer made it up that song.

Maybe he made it up while he was charging up San Juan Hill! LMBO! ;D
