The American Rifle Team March
respectfully dedicated to the
Members of The Winning Team.

Way down upon the Swanee River,
Far, far away
That's where my heart is turning ever
That's where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary
everywhere I roam
Oh darkies, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

I have searched the net
to try and find who the winner
might have been, but to no avail,
so we are left with quite
a decent march composed at a time
when Officer Training was becoming
'de rigeur' in American Society.
