There's A Long, Long Trail is a popular song of World War I. The lyrics were by Stoddard King (1889-1933) and the music by Alonzo "Zo" Elliot, both seniors at Yale. [cite web |title=Long, Long Trail |url=http://www.windintrailpress.com/longlongtrail.stml |accessdate=2008-02-03] It was published in London in 1914, but a December, 1913 copyright for the music is claimed by Zo Elliott.
