Bonus:
Not quite sure what is expected as reply.
So here comes my answer no.1:

It is a "What is it Wagon", for processing photos on location. It is an ordinary delivery cart, similar to a butcher's cart, with a door hung on the back to make it light-proof. The process of developing a single photo usually only took a few minutes, but in the freezing cold, could take up to an hour.

Should the question ask about this special wagon, here comes my answer no. 2:
According to this source the photo shows the Matthew Brady photo crew outside Petersburg, VA in 1864.

The bonus question shows a battlefield photographer's (Alexander Gardner?) darkroom wagon, with his two assistants (one of whom is likely Timothy O'Sullivan) seated on the ground beside it while a servant holds the horses still.

Main question: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the chorus "I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard," but the answer to the question is Gen. John Frazer.

Bonus: Um - it's a photograph of some guys and a horse and a wagon parked among some trees.

If the questioner had a more specific answer in mind, I'm not able to figure out what it might be.

BONUS:
The LOC labels this image as "Brady's photo outfit in front of Petersburg, Va. 1864(?)" https://www.loc.gov/item/2012649239/
Presumably, the image depicts Matthew Brady, an assistant, a hostler (holding the horse), Brady's wagon containing his photo processing set-up.
