I'm Asking You Sergeant, Where's Mine" (also known by the shorter title "Sergeant, Where's Mine") is a folk song written and first performed in the mid-1970s by Scottish comedian, actor and singer Billy Connolly. [1] It was later popularized by The Dubliners.
The song is a cover of Sheb Wooley's [4] parody of the Tammy Wynette song "D-I-V-O-R-C-E", [5] and Connolly's version to date has been his only No. 1 UK single, [3] though in the late 1970s he had a further two UK hits which parodied contemporary songs. He later dropped musical performances from his act.
Sheb Wooley recorded a spoof version of the song under his Ben Colder pseudonym in 1969 with a dog in place of the little boy in the lyrics and spelt out words such as vet and quarantine. A rendition of this version, sung by Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, was a No. 1 hit in the UK in November 1975. [11]
