[Ads-l] Antedating of Jamboree

[Stephen Goranson]

These finds suggested another spelling, jamberee, which turns up from at least 16 June 1858, NY Times: p. 5 col. 3:

....there was to be a little "jamberee"....

...."Jamberee" means a fight or drunk.

Google Books has a different 1853 song book which uses the variant
spelling "Jamberine".

Buckley's Ethiopian Melodies (1853)

Hoop Jamberine
Written for Buckley's Serenaders, by D. Emmit.

I WENT down to New Orleans,
I think myself a man,
De first place I found myself
Was on board de Talleyrand.

CHORUS.--
Hoop Jamberine, Hoop Jamberine,
Vinegar shoes and paper stockings,
Get up ole boss.
