Music and Solovyov

[bmdamare at UMICH.EDU]

I'm not sure about the song's origin, but it also appears in P. N. 
Krasnov's novel "Fallen Leaves" (1923).  He gives the first two lines:

Kak ia rad, kapitan, chto ia vas uvidal
vashei roty podporuchik doch' moiu obidel

That's no closer to the origin of the song, but maybe it'll help open a 
lead or two.
