GEN: Salvation Army Song

[Judy Stewman <STEWMANJ@DQHS.DMSC.K12.AR.US>]

I've been asked to find the words/music to "The Salvation Army Song",
and especially to find out if it is copyrighted. It begins with...
"G-L-O-R-Y I've been S-A-V-E-D from the ways of S-I-N..."
 and ends with "Tra-la-la Amen".  A man heard a singer by the name
of Judy Hinske (?) sing this in 1963 and wants to use it in a play
he's writing which will likely be performed as a benefit. Just weeks
ago he heard a radio DJ in Houston ask if anyone had ever heard of
it, so he called the radio station to find out what the DJ knew. The
DJ had just come across a reference to it and knew nothing else.
SO...we need to know if it is truly a song for the Salvation Army, or
if it's a parody about it. I'm concerned about the copyright aspect
of it...
I've assured him that I have access to the best minds in the business
here, so if you know anything about this song, please
reply...Thanks on this unlurking day, Judy  9/9/99
