MIDI Versions of American Patrol

[edit]

I can send you 2 well-sounding MIDI versions of "American Patrol". I am, however, impeded by my ignorance concerning the practical method of uploading them to this WIKIPEDIA page.

I removed the lyrics included in this article. Per WP:COPY, they must not be re-added unless a reference to a reliable source is also added that confirms that the lyrics were first published at least 70 years ago - as of this writing, on or before September 1, 1942. If the reliable source says they were published "at some time in or before 1945", they cannot and must not be re-added until January 1, 2016. --NellieBly (talk) 19:59, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And the Metrolyrics link supposedly to the lyrics does't show any lyrics. The linked page appears to reference Glenn Miller's version, which was purely instro. Wschart (talk) 14:03, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This song was originally published before 1923 and is in the public domain. PMML has this edition: Meacham, F. W. American patrol. New York: Joe Morris Music Co, 1914. TeriEmbrey (talk) 20:34, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard lyrics. Beginning “ Arms for the Army, ships for the Navy, let that be our goal/ We must be vigilant, we must be diligent, American Patrol...” They might have been composed in 1940, as part of a re-arming drive. This should be researched, and added if a source can be found. 213.205.240.239 (talk) 09:13, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just spent hours researching this and isn't the second theme (at least in Glenn Miller's version) "The girl I left behind me" and not "Dixie"? 80.189.240.97 (talk) 15:18, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
