I found this verse in a book about life in County Down in the interwar period. The author's family sang what he said was an Old Music Hall song. It went We don't want to fight but by Jingo if we do We won't go to the Front ourselves We'll send the Old Hindoo Hayes, M. (1996) Black Pudding with Slim Belfast: Blackstaff p.183 The version of the song from the 1878 I have seen (Written by G.W Hunt, https://monologues.co.uk/musichall/Songs-W/We-Dont-Want-To-Fight.htm performed by Gilbert Hastings MacDermott http://www.victorianweb.org/mt/musichall/macdermott1.html) , doesn't include the line about the Hindoo. Any idea about who wrote or performed this version and when? Best wishes John Eversley
