Some interesting information on the Soldier's Deck of Cards.
I remember T. Texas Tyler's recording, it was very popular.
Late on Tex Ritter and others recorded it, and it stayed popular for some time.
This is from Wikipedia.
"The Deck of Cards" is a recitative that was popularized in both the country and popular music fields, first during the late 1940s. This religious, touching[citation needed] tale of a young American soldier arrested and charged with playing cards during a church service first became a hit in the U.S. in 1948 by country musician T. Texas Tyler. Though Tyler wrote the spoken-word piece, the earliest known reference is to be found in an account/common-place book belonging to Mary Bacon, a farmer's wife, dated 20 April 1762. The story of the soldier can be found in full in Mary Bacon's World. A farmer's wife in eighteenth-century Hampshire, published by Threshhold Press (2010). The folk story was later recorded in a piece of 19th century British literature called "The Soldier's Almanack, Bible And Prayer Book"

I'm surprised "Dear Leader" didn't ban football after that...
