The Repasz Band is a prize-winning band in Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
founded in 1831, that is still active and playing today.  The band
uses that march as its signature tune, and I'm sure that if Jon Polden
contacts the band, he would be able to get the lyrics from them.

Sheila Hornberger, who was a member of the Repasz Band, advised me
several years ago on the proper tempo for playing the march on my 165
roll website.  For the band's history, members, contact information,
etc., see
