'''GET UP NAPOLEON'''. AKA and see "[[Giddy Up Napoleon]]," "[[Ebenezer Fry]]," "[[Joshua Ebenezer Fry]]." American, Song Tune. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Bronner lists two versions of this tin-pan-alley song, one in cut time and one in 6/8 time. The song entered folk tradition soon after its writing, so that early country singer Bradley Kincaid commented "if ever there was a 'hillbilly' song, this is it. I don't know its origin." Bronner (1987) suggests that the tune could have relation to a British Isles "utility" tune used with a number of children's singing games or verses.
