MIDI Versions of American Patrol

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.

Just removed lyrics

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)

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)

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)

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)

Dixie

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)
