Written in 1904 by Edward Madden and Theodore F. Morse. It has also been titled Farewell My Blue Bell. The original sheet music titles it as Blue Bell, March Song and Chorus. It was a very popular song of those times. The Merle Travis instrumental is based on the 1904 sheet music. The head (main theme) of the Travis instrumental is clearly taken from the chorus of the 1904 Madden/Morse march. Travis' bridge to the tune may be based on the opening part of the march. It is played in the key of C.
