 "Fiddlers Green" is a song about the place where cavalrymen go when  they die located "Halfway down the trail to hell" and, in the end,  advocates suicide by pistol when death is certain and the hostiles  are closing in. "Fiddlers Green" possibly originated in England at  least to the 19th century and is still sung today. The song speaks  of a place where fisherman go if they dont go to hell. It found its  way to the U.S.A with the help of Cornish settlers. The fictional  place of Fiddlers Green is also the final resting place for  pirates.
