RARE SONGS

BARROOM BALLADS

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS’ MESS OPEN

NAVAL AMPHIBIOUS BASE
LITTLE CREEK, NORFOLK, VA.







Barroom Ballads bagan when
four talented bartenders,
mustached and darby topped, gave
forth with their vocal chords as
they iced up whiskey sours and
paned glasses of brew across the
bartop. Harmonizers would gather
around the piano.. .amid checkered
tablecloths and candle-dripped
bottles.. .and join in singing tunes
from mimeographed sheets which
were passed around the group. Our
cover now depicts the younger,
modem generation as they join in
singing these memorable songs.
These song fests were officially
launched on Thursday nights only;
but their popularity grew to such

that Tuesday night was designated
as an additional meeting night with
hopes that this would ease the
traffic problem. This wasn t the
solution however, because Tuesday
nights were just as packed as
Thursday nights. Still another
night, Friday, was added later.

In time it became apparent diet aj
more practical songsheet was!
needed for the songsters. It was j
then that Marine Captain Bob Kuh«|
compiled all the mimeographed!
sheets and arranged them into fl
song book. The result is what -wn
here present to you. published in Itsj
Twenty Second'Edition and played i
for you by ‘Pappy’ Walsh.

beer barrel polka

There’8 a garden, what a garden
Only happy faces bloom ther ®

And there's never any room there
For a worry or a gloom there
Oh there’s music and there s
dancing

And a lot of sweet romancing
When they play a polka they all
begin to swing

Every time they hear that compapa
Everybody feels so tra-la^la
They want to throw their cares

They all go lah-de-la-de-ay
Then they hear a rumble on the

floor ,

It’s the big surprise they re
waiting for

And all tne couples iorma ring
For miles around you 11 hear
them sing
Roll out the barrel
We’ll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel
We’ve got the blues on the rim
Zing! Boom! Tararrel
Ring out a song of good cheer
Now’s the time to roll the barrel
For the gang's all here!

I WONDER WHO’S KISSING
HER NOW

I wonder who’s kissing her now
I wonder who's teaching her how
I wonder who's looking into
her eyes

Breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who’s buying the wine
For the lips that l used to call

I wonder if she ever tellB him
of me

I wonder who’s kissing her now.

LET HER SLEEP UNDER
THE BAR

T'was a cold winter evening
The guests were all leaving
_ O'Leary was closing the bar
When he turned 'round and said

To the lady in red —Get out!

You can't sleep where you are f
She wept a sad tear
In her bucket of beer
As she thought of the cold night
ahead ,

When a gentleman dapper steppeu
out of the phone booth
And these are the words that
he said:

Her mother never told her
The things a young girt should

KI*CW

About the ways of Navy men
Ai.ii new they come and go
Thoi el. igc :.us taken her beauty
An i sir. has left its deep scar
! ^t thmk cf your mother and
' V sisters, boys
And hei sleep under the bur.

TAVERN IN THE TOWN

1 !'.•■! f i' 5 a tavern m tire town,
a. the town

Ami mere my true love sits him
down sits him down
And drinks his wine as meny
as can be

And never never thinks ot^rne.

Fare thee well, lor I must ;euve
thee

Do not let this parting grieve
thee

For the time nas come tor yo..

and me to say goodbye
Adieu, adieu, kind Inenas. adieu
yes adieu

I can no longer stay with you.
stay with you

I'll hang my harp on a weeping
willow tree

And may the world go well
with Thee.

WALKING MY BABY
BACK HOME

Gee, but it's great after being out

late, . ,

Walking my baby back home
Arm in arm. over meadow
and farm

Walking my baby back home.

We go along harmonizing a song

UOU --— - * - - j

If Your.Vocal Chords Arm Not Too Frlskey-Go To The Bar You Need Whis ey




Or reciting a poem
Owls go by, and they give me the
eye

We stop for awhile—She gives me
a smile

And snuggles her head to my chest
We start in to pet. And that's when
I get

Her talcum all over my vest
Alter I kind-a straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
One kiss, then I continue again
Walking my Baby back home.

HEART OF MY HEART

Heart of my heart, how I love that
melody

Heart of my heart, bring back fond
memories

When we were kids on the corner
of the square

We were iough and ready guys
But oh how we could harmonize.—
to

Heart of my heart, how friends
were deurei then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To that gang that sang, heart of my
heart.

MY GAL SAL

They call her fnvilous Sal
A peculiar sort of a gal
With a heart that is mellow
An all 'round good fellow
Was my old pal

Your troubles, sorrows and care
She is always willing to share
A wild sort of devil
But dead on the level
Was my gal Sal.

MARCHING ALONG TOGETHER

Marching along together
Sharing every smile and tear
Marching along together

ff Your Voice Has No Cheer,

Whistling till the skies are clear
Swinging along the highway
Over a road that's wide
Without a bugle, without a drum
We mean to chase the jinx, oh,
Rum, Ti-did-dle-di, here we come
We're happy Amphib ginks, oh,
Marching along together
Life is wonderful side by side.

LET THE REST OF THE WORLD
GO BY

With some one like you
A pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and
go and find

Some pluce that's known to God
alone

Just a spot to call oui own
Wo T. find pei feet peace
When- ; .*ys nevei cease
Out tin beneath a kindly sky
We i! build ‘i sweet little nest
Out th»*: ** i:. the west ..•*

And let in** i rst of the world go by.

LADY OF SPAIN

Lady of Spam I ad^re you
Right from the night I first saw you
My heart has been yearning for you
Wi.a* else 'could any heart do
Lady of Spam I n; appealing
Why should my lips bo concealing
All that my eyes are revealing,
Lady of Spain 1 love you.

SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

Grab your coat, and get your hat
Leave your worry on the door step
Just direct you feet—

To the Sunny side of the Street
Can't you hear a pitter pat?

And that happy tune is your step ^
Life can be so sweet ft

On The Sunny Side of the Street. M

Gold dust at my feet

Fades into dreams
When I feel you are near.

For I love you truly, truly dear.

SWEETHEART OF SIGMA CHI

And the moonlight beams
On the girl of my dreams .

She's the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.

K-K-K-KATY

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy

door.

ONE DOZEN ROSES

Give me one dozen roses
Put my heart in beside them
And send them to the one I love.
She’ll be glad to receive them
And I know she'll believe them

OH, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE I

In a cavern, in a canyon ||l

Excavating for a mine, Ijfc

Dwelt a miner, forty niner J|

And his daughter Clementine |l

Refrain: §JJ

Oh, my darling, oh my darling, jjjy

Oh, my darling Clementine, (

You are lost and gone forever, §1

Notice From The Management—Please Don't Spill Beer On The Piano
Player, His Suit Isn't Sanforized .

3

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was and like a fairy,

And her shoes were number nine;

Herring boxes, without tops

Sandals were for Clementine.

Refrain:

She was poor but she was honest,
the victim of a rich man's
whim,

He seduced her, then forgot her,
and she bore a child by him.

It's the same the whole world over,
it'8,the poor who get the
blame.

While the rich get all the blessings,
ain't it all a dirty shame.

Now he sits in the House of Com¬
mons, making laws for all
mankind,

While she roams the streets of
London selling grapes from
off her vine.

NEAR YOU

There’s just one place for me—
near you

It's like heaven to be Near you

Times when we’re a part—I can't
face my heart

Say you’ll never stray, more than
two lips away

If my hours could be spent Near
You

I'd be more than content, Near You

Make my life worth while,

By telling me that I’ll spend the
rest

Of my days Near You.

MY BLUE HEAVEN

A little nest that's nestled where
the roses bloom
Just Mollie and me
And baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven.

IF I LOVED YOU

If I loved you

Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you

Words wouldn't come in an easy
way

'Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you but afraid and
shy

I'd let my golden chances pass me
by

Soon you'd leave me

Off you would go in the mist of day

Never, never to know

How I loved you

If I loved you.

A PRETTY GIRL IS LIKE
A MELODY

A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day
Just like the strain of a haunting
refrain

She'll start upon a marathon
And run around your brain
You can't escape, she's in your
memory

By morning, night and noon
She will leave you and then, come
back again

A pretty girl is just like a pretty
tune.

When whip-poor-wills call and
ev’ning is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
A turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
You'll see a smiling face, a fire¬
place, a cozy room

DREAM

Dream when you're feelin' blue
Dream that’s the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise
in the air

You'll find your share of memorli
there

Valentines Day Is Like An H-Bomb At Bikini
If You Chase Each Beer With A Quick Martini I

So dream when the day is thru
Dream and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they
seem

So dream, dream, dream.

IN THE CHAPEL
IN THE MOONLIGHT

How I'd love to hear the organ -
In the Chapel in the moonlight
While we're strolling down the
aisle -

Where roses entwine.

How I'd love to hear you whisper --
In the Chapel in the Moon¬
light

That the love-light in your eyes --
For-ever will shine ---
Till the roses - turn to ashes --
Till the organ turns to rust
If you never come I'll still be
there -

Till the moon-light turns to
dust --

How I'd love to hear the choir --
In the Cl'upel :n the Moonlight
As they sing "Oh! Ficrnise Me" -
r*orevt?r be mine.

IF YOU KNEW SUSIE

If you kri'. w Susie like I know Susie
Oh! Oil! Oh! what a gir!

There s none so classy as this fair
iassy

Oh! Oh! Holy Moses what a chassis
We went r iding she dicin't balk
Back from Yonkers I'm the one
that had to walk

If you knew Susie like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! What a girl.

PISTOL PACKIN' MAMA |||

Dr ink in' beer in a cabaret

And was I havin' fun \

Until one night she caught me

right j

And now I'm on the run.

Lay that pistol down Babe

Lay that pistol down I

Pistol Packin' mama

Lay that pistol down! j

She kicked out my windshield j

She hit me over the head J

She cussed and cried and said I d I
lied I

And wished that I was dead. j

(chorus)

Dr inkin' beer in a Cabaret ;

And dancing with a blonde
Until one night she shot out the
light

You're The Latter, Go To Hell! ||

Bang! that blonds was gone,
(chorus)

I'll see you every night Babe
I'll woo you every day
I'll be you're regular daddy
If you'll put that gun away.

(chorus)

Now there was old A1 Dexter
He always had his fun
But with some lead she shot him
dead

His honkin' days are done.

SIDE BY SIDE

Oh! we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singin' a song side by side
Don't know what's cornin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharin' our load side by side
Thru all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall ?

Just as long as we're together ^

It doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels
and parted

We'll be the same as we started
Just trav'lin’ along
Singin' a song side by side.

LOUISE

Every little breeze seems to
whisper Louise

Birds in the trees seem to twitter
Louise

Each little rose tells me it knows
I love you, love you

Every little beat that I feel in my
heart

Seems to repeat what I felt at the
start

Each little sigh tells me that I
adore you, Louise

Just to see and hear you

Brings joy I never knew

But to be so near you
Thrills me through and through
Any one can see why I wanted your
kiss

It had to be but the wonder is this
Can it be true, someone like you
Could love me; Louise.

THE SINGING MARINE

Over the sec let's go men
We're shovin' right off, we're
shovin' right off again
Nobody knows where or when
We're shovin' right off, we're
shovin' right off again
It may be Shanghai, farewell and
goodbye

Sally and Sue, don’t be blue
We'll just be gone for years and
years and then
We'll be shovin' right off for
home, shovin' right off for
home, shovin' right off for
home again.

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

You are my sunshine, my only
sunshine,

You make me happy when skies
are grey;

You'll never know dear,

How much I love you,

Please don't take my sunshine
away.

The other night dear, as I lay
sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms;
but when I awoke, Dear

I was mistaken, and I hung my head
and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sun¬
shine,

You make me happy when skies are
are grey;

You'll never know dear,

How much I love you,

Please don't take my sunshine
away.

BASIN STREET BLUES

Won’ tcha come along with me
To the Mississippi
We'll take the boat to the lan' of
dreams

Steam down the river, down to
New Orleans

The bands there to meet us
Old friends to greet us
Where all the light and dark folks
meet

Heaven on earth, they call it Basin
Street

Basin Street i$ the street
Where the elite, always meet in
New Orleans

Lan' of dreams, you'll never know
how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be, yes sir-ree
Where the welcome's free, dear to
me

Where can I lose
My Basin Street blues.

ALOUETTE

Alouette, gentile Alouette,

Alouette, Je te plumerai
Je te plumerai la tete.

Je te plumerai la tete,

Et la tete, et la tete. OH!

I DON'T CARE IF THE SUN
DON'T SHINE

I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evenin' time

When I’m with my baby
It’s no fun with the sun aroun’

But I get goin' when the sun goes
down

And I meet my baby
That's when we kiss and kiss and
kiss

And then we kiss some more

Don't ask how many times we kiss
At a time like this who keeps score
So I don't care if the sun don't
shine

I'll get my lovin' in the evenin' time
When I'm with my baby.

THE MARINES' HYMN

From the Halls of Montezuma —

To the shores of Tripoli,

We fight our country’s battles -
In the air, on land and sea —
First to fight for right and free¬
dom -

And to keep our honor clean; -
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to the
Corps -

Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for
life

And never lost our nerve
If the Army and the Navy,

Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are
guarded

by the United States Marines.-

DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW

How much is that doggie in the
window

The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggie in the
window

I do hope that doggie's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart
alone

If she has a dog she won't be
lonesome

And the doggie will have a good
home.

How much is that doggie in the
window

The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggie in the
window

As Your Eyes Get Dim And Bleary Your Songs Become A Little Less

Cheery .

r

I do hope that doggie's for sale.

I read in the papers there are
robbers

With flashlights that shine in the
dark

I know that soon we're goin' to
cover

And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty

I don't want a parrot that talks

I don't want a bowl of little fishes

She can’t take a goldfish for walks

How much is that doggie in the
window

The one with the waggely tail

How much is that doggie in the
window

I do hope that doggie's for sale.

SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that ‘ 'All aboard''
Seven, that's the Time we leave at
seven

I'll be waiting up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad
.track that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so
"yearny"

Why did I decide to roam

Gotta take this sentimental journey

Sentimental journey home.

BANKS OF THE WABASH

Oh the moonlight's fair tonight
along the Wabash
From the fields there comes the
scent of new mown hay
In the sycamores the candle lights
are gleaming

On the banks of the Wabash far
away.

Don't Shoot Our Piano Player

LOCH LOMOND

By yon bonnie banks
And by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on
Loch Lomon’

Oh we two ha's pass'd sae mony
blithesome days
On the bonnie bonnie banks of
Loch Lomon'

Oh ye'll tak' the high road and I'll
tak’ the low road
An' I’ll be in Scotland afore ye
Where me and my true love were
ever wont to gae
On the bonnie bonnie banks of
Loch Lomon

I mind where we parted in yon
shady glen

On the steep steep side o' Bon
Lomon'

Where in purple hue the Highland
hills we view

And the morn shines out frae the
gloomin'

(chorus)

IDA

Ida sweet as apple cider
Sweeter than all I know
Come out in the silvery moonlight
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and
low

Seems though can't live without you
Listen, Oh honey do
Ida, I idolize ya
I love you Ida 'deed I do.

SWANEE

Swan-ee-How I love you - How I
love you, My dear old Swan-ee
I'd give the world to be, among the
folks in D-I-X-f-ven know my
Mam-my's - Waiting for me

praying for me, down by the
Swan-ee

The folks up north will see me
no more

When I go to the Swan-ee shore
You Might Damage The Piano.

Swan-ee — Swan—ee I am com-ing
back to Swan-ee

Swan-ee — Swan—ee I love the old
folks at home.

IN THE SHADE OF THE
OLD APPLE TREE

In the shade of the old apple tree
Where the love in your eyes I could
see

And the voice that I heard
Like the song of the bird
Seemed to whisper sweet music to
me

We could hear the dull buzz of the
bee

In the blossoms as you said to me
With a heart that is true
I’ll be waiting for you
In the shade of the old apple tree.

TITANIC

Oh they built the ship Titanic
And when they had it through
They thought they had a ship
That the water would ne'er go
through

But the Lord's all mighty hand
Said the ship would never stand
It was sad when the great ship
went down.

Oh it was sad, it was sad
It was sad when the great ship
went down to the bottom
Husbands and wives
Itty bitty children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship
went down

They were leaving Merry England
And as they pulled away from shore
The rich refused to associate with
the poor

So they put them down below
Where they’d be the first to go
It was sad when the great ship
went down.

(chorus1.

They put the life boats out
Into the raging sea
And the band struck up with 1 'Near
My God To Thee"

Then the waves poured o'er the
side

And the little children died
It was sad when the great ship
went down.

(chorus)

Now the moral of this story
As you can plainly see
Is to wear a life preserver
And never go out to sea
The Titanic never made it
Across the raging foam
It was sad when the great ship
went down.

(chorus)

OLD MAN RIVER

Ol man river, dat ol man river

He must know sumpin but don't say
nothin'

He just keeps rollin, he keeps on
rollin along

He don't plant taters, he don't
plant cotton

An dem dat plants em is soon
forgotten

But ol man river, he just keeps
rollin along :

You and me, we sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked wid pain

Tote dat barge, lift dat bale

Git a little drunk an ya land in
jail

Ah gets weary and sick of tryin

Ahm tired of livin and feared of
dyih

But ol man river he jest keeps
rollin along.

IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON

Say it' s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe

Please Keep Your Butts Off The Piano And Your Ashes Off The Floorl

Ii you believed in me
Yes it'8 only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
II you believed in me
Without your love it's a honky
took parade

Without you love it's a melody
played in a penny arcade
It'8 a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phoney as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe

Eastside, Westside
All around the town
The girls sang ring-around-rosie
London Bridge is falling down
Boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Rourke .
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York.

MARQIE

Margie, I'm always thinking of you
Marais

I'll tell the world I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a home and ring and
everything

For Margie, you are my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done
There is really only one
Oh Margie, Margie it's you.

BILL BAILEY, WON'T YOU
PLEASE COME HOME?

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey,
won't you come home?

She moans the whole day long.

I'll do the cooking darling, I’ll
pay the rent;

I know I've done you wrong.

Remember that rainy evening I
drove you out

With nothing but a fine tooth comb?

I know I'm to blame; well ain't
that a shame?

Bill Bailey, won't you please
come home?

LILLI MARLENE

Underneath the lantern by the bar¬
rack gate,

Darling I remember the way you
used to wait;

’Twas there that yoii whispered
tenderly,

That you loved me,

You'd always be My Lilli of the
lamplight,

My own Lilli Marlene.

Time would come for roll call,
time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you and press
you to my heart,

And there 'neath that far off
lantern light,

I’d hold you tight,

We'd Kiss "Good-night, "

My Lilli of the lamplight,

My own Lilli Marlene.

RUBEN AND RACHEL

(Women)

Reuben, Reuben I’ve been thinking
What a queer world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the Northern Sea.

(Men)

Rachel, Rachel I've been thinking
If we went beyond the seas
All the girls would follow after
Like a swarm of honey bees.

(Women)

Reuben, Reuben I’ve been thinking
Life would be so easy then
What a lovely world this would be
If there were no tiresome men.

Notice—Anyone Seen Drinking A Moscow Mule Will Be Investigated

(Men)

Rachel, Rachel I've been thinking
Life is sometimes awf'ly queer
No one knows where we are going
No one knows why we are here.

(Women)

Reuben, Reuben I've been thinking
Those are true words that you've
said

We sleep all night when we are
living

Sleep all day when we are dead.
(Men)

Rachel, Rachel What you're saying
May be true and may be not
All I knew is just one thing
But what it is, why I forgot.

(Women) Reuben

(Men) Rachel

(All) I've been thinking
By the stars that shine above
You're the sweetest at this sing¬
song.

That is why it’s you I love.

We'll build a bungalow, big enough

V/e'li take a L-A-R-K lark
Out in the P-A-R-K park
And I will K-I-S-S kiss you

It takes a K-I-S-S kiss
To make an M-I-S-S misp
So I'll L-O-V-E-love you
All the T-I-M-E time.

YOU AND I

You and I.

CHINATOWN

Chinatown my Ghinatow
When the lights are low
Hearts that know no other lane
Drifting to and fro
Dreamy dreamy Ghinatow
Almond eyes of brown
Hearts seem light
And life seems bright
In dreamy Chinatown.

STOUT HEARTED MEN

Give me some men, who are stout
hearted men

Who will fight for the right they
adore

Start me with ten who are stout
hearted men

And I'll soon give you ten thousand
more

Oh, shoulder to shoulder and bolder
and bolder

They grow as they go to the fore

Then there’s nothing in this world
can halt or mar a plan

When stout hearted men

Can stick together man to man.

For you and me.

STRAWBERRY BLONDE

Casey would waltz with the straw¬
berry blonde
And the band played on
He'd glide cross the floor with the
girl he adored
And the band played on
But his brain was so loaded
It nearly exploded
The poor girl would shake with
alarm

He'd ne'er leave the girl with the
strawberry curl.

And the band played on.

MEXICALI ROSE

Mexicali Rose stop crying

Kiss me once again and hold me

Mexicali Rose, Goodbye.

SWEET SUE

what I'd do
In this heart of mine
You live all the time
Sweet Sue just you.

I'M FOREVER BLOWING!
BUBBLES

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air.

DEAR OLD OIRL

Dear old girl the robins sing

And my broken heart is calling
(Jailing for you, Dear old girl.

MACNAMARA'S BAND

O me name is MacNamara
I'm the leader of the band
Although we're few in number
We’re the finest in the land
We play at wakes and weddings
And at every fancy ball
And when we play at funerals
We play the best of all.

O the drums go bang and the cymbal®
clang

And the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps the old bazoon
While I the pipes do play

12

And Hennessy Tennessy tootles the
flute

And the music is simply grand
A credit to old Ireland is
MacNamara's band
Da da dah—etc.

Right now we are rehearsing

For a very swell affair

'Tis the annual cejebration

All the gentry will be there

When General Grant to Ireland came

He took me by the hand

Says he, I never saw the likes

Of MacNamara's band.

(chorus)

O me name is Uncle Yulius
And from Sweden I did come
To play with MacNamara's band
And beat the big base drum
And when I maich along the street
The ladies think I'm grand
They shout there's Uncle Yulius
playing with an Irish band
O I wear a bunch of shamrocks
And a uniform ot green
And I'm the funniest looking Swede
That you have ever seen
There’s O'Briens and Ryans and
Moohans and Sheehans
They come from Ireland
But by yiminy I'm the only Swede
In MacNamara's band.

(chorus!

THE ARMY GOES
ROLLING ALONG

(Based upon "The Caisson Song")

First to fight for the right, and to
build the Nation's might,

And the Army goes rolling along.

Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battles won,

And the Army Goes Rolling
Along.

Then it's -Hi! Hi! hey - The Army's
on its way.

Count of the cadence loud and
strong! ( # Two-Three!)

For where ever we go,

You will always know that the
Army Goes Rolling Along.

ALICE BLUE GOWN

In her sweet little Alice Blue gown
When she first wandered down into
town

She was both proud and shy
As she felt every eye
And in every shop window she'd
primp passing by
Then in manner of fashion she'd
frown

And the world seem'd to smile all
around

Till it wilted she wore it

I'll always adore it

That sweet little Alice Blue Gown.

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING

When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure 'tis like a morn in spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
Wien Irish eyes are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
But when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure they'll steal your heart away.

Everywhere a chick chick

MY WILD IRISH ROSE

My wild Irish rose

The sweetest flower that grows

You may search everywhere

But none can compare

With my wild Irish rose

My wild Irish rose

The dearest flower that grows

And some day for my sake

She may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish rose.

MEMORIES

Memories, memories
Dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memory
I'm drifting back to you
Childhood days, wildwood ways
Among the birds and bees
You've left me alone
But still you're my own
lh my beautiful memories.

STEVE O'DONNELL'S WAKE

(For Irishmen Only)

Steve O'Donnell was a gentleman so
everybody said

He was loved by all his friends
both rich and poor
And everyone felt sorry when they
heard that Steve was dead
And they saw the paper crepe upon
the door.

Now there were fighters and

blighters and Irish dynamiters
There was beer, gin, whiskey, wine
and cake

There were men in high positions
They were Irish politicians
And they all got drunk at Steve
O'Donneirs wake.

Under-taker Feeney had the job to
lay O’Donnell out

In a casket of the very finest make
They dressed the corpse in broad¬
cloth and boys theye'll be no
doubt

That they'll all get drunk at Steve
O’Donnell's wake

(chorus)

The barber came to shave the
Gallway Slugger from his
throat

And cut his hair A-la pompadour
A red necktie and button hole bou¬
quet was in his coat
And a bunch of Shamrocks in his
hand he wore,

(chorus)

There were 40 candles at his head
and 20 at his feet (he was well
lit)

And plenty flowers sent for friend¬
ship sake

Oh! Stevie Bie why did you die, the
weepin* widow cried
And they all got drunk at Steve
O'Donnell's wake.

(chorus)

Now Mike McGovern said Steve
O'Donnell was an awful bum
Of course he only meant it for a
joke

But Patty Mack got up his back and
made McGovern run
’Cause he hit him in the eye an
awful poke.

(chorus)

Now all joined in the fightin’ cause
everyone was mad
And blood enough was spilled to
flood a lake

They knocked the corpse down on
the floor and busted all the
lights

There was murder down at Steve
O'Donnell's wake.

(chorus)

Now the cops came in to stop the

"(Anyone Who Has Been To Ireland Or Has Known An Irishman Or Has
Drunk Irish Whiskey Or Has Celebrated St. Patricks Day May Consider

Himself An Irishman)

14

brawl and make them under¬
stand

The corpse was picked up by his
brother Dan

Oh Stevie Bie why did you die the
weepin' widow cried
And they all got drunk at Steve
O'DonneH'8 wake.

(chorus)

to slaughter
When it’s over, oh boy we’ll get it
good

Bachelor days we’ll then recall
Rich maxf; poor man, beggar man
thief

Doctor, lawyer., merchant, chief
WE all are bound for—

MOTHER MACHREE

There's a spot in me heart which
no colleen may own

There's a depth in me soul never
sounded or known

There s a place in my mem'ry, my
life, that you fill

No other can take it, no one ever
will.

Sure I love the dear silver that
shines in your hair

And the brow that’s all furrowed
and wrinkled with care

I kiss the dear fingers so toil worn
for me

O God bless you and keep you
Mother Machree.

JINGLE JANGLE JINGLE

I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing "Oh ain’t you glad
you’re single”

And that song ain’t so very far
from wrong.

Oh Lillie Belle, oh Lillie Belle
Though J may have done some
foolin’

This is why I never fell
I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing "Oh ain't you glad
you’re single"

And that song ain’t so very far
from wrong.

CONEY ISLAND BABY

Goodbye my Coney Island baby
Farewell my own true love
I m gonna sail away and leave you

Never to see you any_

Never gonna see you any—

I m gonna sail upon a ferry boat
Never to return again
So, goodbye, farewell, so-long for¬
ever

Goodbye my Coney Island,

Goodbye my Coney Island’

Goodbye my Coney Island Babe.

We all fall for
Some girl that dresses neat
Some girl that's got big feet
You meet her on the street
Then we 11 join the army of married
boobs

To the altar, just like leading lambs

WHISPERING

Whispering while you cuddle near me

Whispering so no one con hoax me

Each little whisper seems to cheer
me

I know it s true there's no one dear
but you

You're whispering why you'll never
leave me

Whispering why you'll never grieve
me

Whisper and say that you believe me

Whispering that I love you.

DINAH

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina


If thero is and you know hef
Show her to me

Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and gaze into the
eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with
fright

Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
Oh Dinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.

I'M SITTING ON TOP
OF THE WORLD

I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along
I m quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a
sang

Glory Hallelujah I just phone the
parson

Hey Par get ready to call
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going
to fall

I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along.

PEGGY O'NEAL

If her eyes are blue as skies

That's Peggy O'Neil

If she's smiling all the while

That's Peggy O’Neil

If she walks like a sly little rogue

If she talks with a cute little brogue

Sweet personality

Full of rascality

That's Peggy O'Neil

BELL-BOTTOM TROUSERS

Once there was a serving maid down
in Drury Lane

Her master was so kind to her
Her mistress was the same
Then came a sailor home from the
sea

And he was the cause of all her
misery.

Singing bell-bottom trousers, coat of
navy blue

He can climb the riggin like his
daddy used to do

He asked for a candle to light him
up to bed

He asked for a pillow to place
beneath his head

And she like a silly girl, thinking it
no harm

Jumped into bed to keep the sailor
warm.

(chorus)

Early in the morning before the
break of day

He handed her a five-pound note and
this he had to say

Maybe you’ll have a daughter, maybe
you’ll have a son

Take this my darling for the damage
I have done.

4

(chorus)

If you have a daughter bounce her on
your knee

But if you have a son send the rascal
out to sea

Now ihe moral of this story is plain
as you can see

Never trust a sailor an inch above
your knee.

(chorus)

LITTLE BROWN JUG

My wife and I live all alone

In a little brown hut we call our own

She loves gin and I lgve rum

Ha Ha Ha ' tis you and me

Ha Ha Ha 'tis you and me

Little brown jug don’t I love thee.

SMILES

There are smiles that make us happy
There are smiles that make us blue
There are smiles that steal away the
tear-drops

As the sunbeams steal away the dew
There are smiles that have a tender
meaning

That the eyes of love alone may see
But the smiles that fill my life with
sunshine

Are the smiles that you give to me.

VOLARE, Oh, Oh

A-way from the madd’ning crowds;
We can sing in the glow of a star

Where lovers enjoy peace of mind,
Let us leave the confusion and all
disillusion behind,

Just like birds of a feather a rain¬
bow together we’ll find.
VOLARE, Oh, Oh
Cantare, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
No wonder my happy heart sings,
Your love has given me wings.

EASTER PARADE

Easter parade

On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue

The photographers, will snap us

And you'll find that you're in the

Oh, I could write a sonnet, about

And of the girl I'm taking to the

BLUE TAIL FLY

When I was young I used to wait
On the boss and give him his plate
And pass the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the Blue Tail Fly.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away.

And when he'd ride in the afternoon
I'd follow after with a hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by a Blue Tail Fly.
(chorus)

One day he rode around the farm

The flies so numerous they did
swarm y UAU

One chanced to bite him on the thiqh
The devil take the Blue Tail Fly.
(chorus)

The Pony run, he jump, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
Verdict was the Blue Tail Fly.

(chorus)

They laid him under a 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
Beneath this s-tone I'm forced to lie
Victim of a Blue Tail Fly.

(chorus)

MELANCHOLY BABY

Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All you fears are foolish fancy

You know dear that I'm in love with

Smile my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too.

DOWN BY THE OLD MILL STREAM

Down by the old mill stream

Where I first met you

With your eyes so blue

Dressed in gingham too

It was there I knew

That you loved me true

You were sixteen, my village queen

Down by the old mill stream.

I WANT A GIRL (and a Beer)

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old dad

She was a pearl and the only girl

That daddy ever had

A good old-fashioned girl

With heart so true

One who loves nobody else but you

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old dad.

I want a beer ]ust like the beer
That pickled rny old man
It was a beer and the only beer
That daddy ever had
A good old-fashioned beer
With lots of foam

It took six men to carry daddy home
I want a beer just like the beer
That pickled my old man.

THE U.S. AIR FORCE

Off we go --into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high-into the sun;

Here they come, zooming to meet
our thunder,

At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun
Down we dive, spouting our
flame from under,

When Songs Become Risque «

Off with one hell-uv-a roar!
We live in fame - Or go down in
flame

Nothing will stop
THE L S. AIR FORCE.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN

Smile the while you kiss me and
say acieu

When the clouds roll by I'll come
to you

Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lovers' lane my dearie
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev ry tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE
A DAY MADE

What a Difference a day made,
Twenty four little hours,
Brought the sun and the flowers,
Where there used to be rain.

My yesterday was blue dear,
Today I'm part of you dear,

My lonely nights are thru dear,
Since you said you were mine.
What a difference a day made.
There's a rainbow before me.
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss;

That thrilling kiss.

It's heaven when you,

Find romance on your menu
What a Difference a Day Made
And the difference is you.

THE ROSE OF TRALEE

The pale moon was rising above the
green moutain

The sun was declining beneath the.
blue sea

When I strayed with my love to the
pure crystal fountain

That stands in the beautiful vale of
Tralee.

Don't Blame It On Whisque

She was lovely and fair as the rose
of the summer

Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that
won me

Oh, no, 'twas the truth in her eye
ever dawning

That made me love Mary, the rose
of Tralee.

The cool shade of evening their
mantle were spreading

And Mary all smiiing was list'ning
to me

The moon through the valley her pale
rays was shedding

When I won the heart of the Rose of
Tralee.

(chorus)

BEAUTIFUL DREAMER

Beautiful dreamer wake unto me

Starlight and dewdrop are waiting
for thee

Sounds of the rude world heard in
the day

Lull'd by the moonlight are all
passed away

Beautiful dreamer queen of my song

List while I woo thee with soft
melody

Gone are the cares of life's busy
throng

Beautiful dreamer awake unto me

Beautiful dreamer awake unto me.

ISLE OF CAPRI

’Twas on the Isle of Capri that I
met her

Beneath the shade of an old walnut
tree

'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I
let her

Take my heart that was once fancy
free

She was as sweet as the rose at the
dawning

But some how fate hadn't meant her
for me

And though I sailed with the tide in

the morning

Still my heart's on the Isle of Capi

Summer time was nearly over, blue
Italian skies up above
I said "Lady", I am a rover
Can you spare a sweet word of love
She whispered softly, it's best not
to linger

And as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her
finger,

’Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri.

CAROLINA IN THE MORNING

Nothing could be finer than to be in
Carolina in the morning.

No one could be sweeter than my
sweetie when I meet her in the
morning

Where the morning glories
Twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to
hear one more

Strolling with my girlie where the
dew is pearly early in the
morning.

Butterflies all flutter up and kiss
each little buttercup at dawning,

If I had Aladdins' lamp for only a
day

I'd make a wish and here's what I'd
say:

Nothing could be finer than to be in
Carolina in the morning.

I GOT RHYTHM

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man who could ask for any¬
thing more

I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man who could ask for any¬
thing more

Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my man who could ask for any¬
thing more

Who could ask for anything more.

BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy over the love of you,

It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage,

But you'd look sweet

Upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two.

Harry, Harry, there is my answer
true,

I'm half crazy all for the love of you,
I don't want a stylish marriage
And I don't need a carriage,

But I'll be damned
If I'll be crammed
On a bicycle built for two.

PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES

Pack up your troubles in your old
kit bag

And smile, smile, smile
While you’ve a lucifer to light your
fog

Smile boy8 that's the style
What's the use of worrying
It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old
kit bag

And smile, smile, smile.

r LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN
KATHLEEN

I'll take you home again Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonnie bride
The roses all have left you cheek
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you
speak

And tears bedim your loving eyes.

Oh, I will take you back again
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and
green

I’ll take you to your home again

FOGGY FOGGY DEW J

I am a bachelor and I live all alone | )
And I work at the weavers trade |
And the only only thing that I ever |
did wrong !

Was to woo a pretty maid.

I wooed her in the summer time |]
And the winter too |

And the only, only thing that I ever I
did wrong J

Was to shield her from the foggy, •|
foggy dew. |

One night she came to my bedside ' J
When I was fast asleep I

She threw her arms around my neck 1
And then began to weep J

She wept she cried, she damn near f]
died t.

My God what could I do j

Come hop into bed little maid I said |
And I'll shield you from the foggy, ;
foggy dew. |

Now I'm still a bachelor, and I live |
with my son 1

And we work at the weavers trade I
And every damn time I look into his 1
eyes 'd

It reminds me of that maid 1

Reminds me of the summertime 1
And of the winter too I

When the only, only thing that I ever 1
did wrong |

Was to shield her from the foggy, J
foggy dew. jj

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHOP

So if you have to take a lickin'
Carry on and quit your kickin'
Don't give up the ship.

"OUR SONG”

(To the tune of the Wiffenpoof)

To the tables down at Little Creek
lo the place where we all dwell
To the dear old Patio Bar we love
so well

Sing the motley crew assembled
With their glasses raised on high
And the horror of their singing
Sounds like hell. a

Yes the horror of their singing
Of the songs that should sound well
While we re wasting all the morning
and the night

We will serenade each other
While life and limb shall last
'Till we've passed out and been for-
gotten in the fight

We re poor Amphibs who have qone
astray

Baa Baa Baa

We drink and sing our sorrows awav
Baa baa baa J '

Officers, gentlemen, we try to be
So please don't send us back to sea

Bartender please mix a drink for mo
Baa baa baa.

At the Choir Practice nightly
All the songs are sweet and low
Till that good old Demon Rum begins
to flow 3

Then tonsils they get rusty
And the voices get off key
And the wives declare that now thev
have to go

P^n the women leave discretely
Ana the songs get more risque
And tales of the war told by those
who fly

They fight the war in Korea
And the war in Norfolk too

THE MAN ON THE

FLYING TRAPEZE

Once I was happy but now I'm for-
lorn

Just like an old coat that is tattered
and torn

I’m left in this wide world to fret
and to morn

Betray'd by a maid in her teens
Now this girl that I loved she was
handsome

And I tried all I knew to please
But I never could please her one
quarter so well

As the man on the flying trapeze.

Oh, he'd float through the air with
the greatest of ease
The daring young man on the fIvina
trapeze y

His movements are graceful
All girls he does please
And my love he has purloined away.

Please Check Your Guns At The Door

CAROLINA MOON

Carolina Moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hoping tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I’m all right
Please do tell her that I'm blue and
lonely

Dreamy Carolina Moon

WALTZING MATILDA

Once A Jolly Swagman Sat By A
Billabong,

Under the shade of a Kollabah Tree,

And he sang as he watched and
Waited for his Tea to Boil,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with
Me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with
glee, and he sang as he
watched and waited for his
Tea to boil,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda
with Me.

Down came a Jumpbuck to drink at
the Billabond,

Up Jumped the Swagman Laughing
with glee, and he sang as he
shoved the Jumpbuck in his
tucker bag,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda
with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on
his thoroughbred, Up Rode the
troopers one, two, three,
where's the Jolly Jumpbuck
you put in your Tucker Bag,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda
with me.

Up Jumped the swagman dove into
the Billabong, You'll Never
Catch Me Alive said he, and
his ghost may be heard as you
walk by that Billabong,

You'll come a waltzing Matilda
with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda
with me, and his ghost may be
heard as you walk by that
Billabong,

You’ll come a waltzing Matilda
with me.

WHITE XMAS

I'm Dreaming of a White Xmas,
Just Like the ones I Used to Know,
Where The Tree Tops Glisten,

And the Children Listen,

To Hear Sleigh Bells in the Snow,
I'm Dreaming of a White Xmas,
With Every Xmas Card I Write,
May Your days Be Merry and
Bright,

And May All Your Christ-Mas-Es
Be White.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin'?

In the lane snow is glist'nin',

A beautiful sight, we're happy to¬
night

Walkin' in a WINTER WONDER¬
LAND.

Gone a-way is the blue bird, here to
stay is a new bird,

He sings a love song, as we go along

Walkin’ in a WINTER WONDER¬
LAND.

In the meadow we can build a snow¬
man,

Then pretend that he is Parson
Brown,

He'll say are you married;

We'll say ”No, man:

But you can do the job when you're
in town.

Later on we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we
made,

Walkin' in a WINTER WONDER¬
LAND.

Or three or four or more
In loveland for me and my gal.

So shine on, shine on harvest moon

DANNY BOY

Oh Danny boy the pipes, the pipes

From glen to glen and down the

The summer's gone and all the

It’s you, it s you must go and I

But come ye back when summer's
in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and
white with snow

It's I'll be here in sunshine or in
shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love
you so.

deep purple

When the deep purple falls over
sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in
the sky

Through the midst of a memory,
you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night, once again
I hold you tight

Tho' your gone your love lives on
when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat,
lover, we’ll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams.

BABY FACE

Baby face, you've got the cutest
little baby face

There's not another one could take
your place, baby face
My poor heart is jumpin'

You sure have started somethin
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when
I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove
Cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face.

I HAD A DREAM DEAR

I had a dream dear, you had one too

Mine was the best dear

Because it was of you

Come sweetheart tell me

Now is the time

You tell me your dream

And I'll tell you mine.

AVALON

I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of her and Avalon
From dusk 'till dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.

ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY

By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Lookin' eastward to the sea
There's a Burma girl a settin’

An' I know she thinks o' me
For the wind is in the palm trees
An' the temple bells they say
Come you back ye British soldier
Come you back to Mandalay
Come you back to Mandalay.

Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old-Flotilla lay
Can't you 'ear their paddles
chunkin' .

From Rangoon to Mandalay
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flyin' fishes play
An' the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China 'crost the bay.

Er' petticoat was yaller
An' 'er little cap was green
An’ 'er name was Supiyawlat
Jes' the same as Thee-baw's Queen
An' I seed her first a smokin
Of a whackin' white cheroot
An' a wastin' Christian Kisses
On an 'eathen idol's foot
On an 'eathen idol's foot.

Bloomin’ idol made o’ mud
What they called the great Gawd
Budd

Plucky lot she cared for idols
When I kissed her where she stood
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flyin’ fishes play
An’ the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China 'crost the bay.

Ship me somewheres east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
Where there are no ten command¬
ments

An' a man can raise a thirst
For the temple bells are callin'

An' it's there that I would be
By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Lookin' lazy at the sea
Lookin' lazy at the sea.

(repeat first chorus)

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

(To the tune of Chost Riders
in the Sky)

As we were sailing through the sea
One bright and sunny day
We spied a big black thunderstorm
Alying in our way
Sail.right on through the skipper
said

We do most anything
And now we're up in heaven
And hear the angels sing.

Oh it's so very nice up here
A riding on a cloud
There's no one here with hen¬
house ways

And work is not allowed
The food is good, the CO's swell
We have no need to fear
There's no such thing as sea duty
We all wear wings up here.

As we looked down on.earth one day
We saw a gruesome sight
It made our blood run very cold
It turned our livers white
The whole command from Little
Creek

Was headed up this way
We called our Lord before us
And all knelt down to pray.

The Admiral told our boss, the
Lord

Now this is not a prank
He shouted in a mighty voice
JUST WHAT'S YOUR DATE OF
RANK

The Lord sat there his head was
bowed

The Admiral shouted clear
There's just not room in Heaven
For two CO's up here.

The Lord he called us 'fore the
throne

And these last words he said
Your tour up here is done my boys
You might as well be dead
We’ll send you out on orders
But names we cannot tell
One half to go to Norfolk
The other half to hell.

CALIFORNIA HERE I COME

California here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers bloom in
the sun

Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
A sunkist miss said don’t be late
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
California here I come.

STORMY WEATHER

Don't know why there’s no sun up
in the sky, stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Lite is hare, gioom and misery
everywhere, stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues
walked in and met me

U Your Valentine Is Not True~Go

If he stays away old rockin’ chair
will get me

All I do is pray the Lord above will
let me

Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on every thing I had is
gone

Story weather, since my man and I
ain't together

Keeps raining all the time, keeps
raining all the time.

RED RIVER VALLEY

From this valley they say you are
going

We will miss your bright eyes and
sweet smile

For they say you are taking the
sunshine

That brightens our pathway awhile

Come and sit by my side if you
love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

But remember the Red River
Valley

And the girl who has loved you so
true.

ON T HE STREET
WHERE YOU LIVE

I have of-ten walked—down this
street be-fore—

But the pave-meat al-ways stayed
be-neath my feet be-fore—

All at once am I—sev-'ral stor-ies
high,—

Know-ing I'm on the street where
you live.—

Are there lilac trees —in the heart
of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other
part of town?

Does en-chantment pour out of
er-ry door?

No, it's just on the street where
you live.

To The Bar, You Nee cT A Brew

26

And Oh. —the tow-er-ing feel-ing,
Just to know — some-how you are
near!

The o-ver pow-er-ing feel-ing —
That any sec-ond You may sudden¬
ly ap-pear!

Peo-ple stop and stare, they don't
both-er me;

For there's no-where else on earth
that I would rather be.

Let the time go by-—I won't care if
I can be here — on the street
where you live.

I COULD HAVE DANCED
ALL NIGHT

I could have danced— all night —

I could have danced, all night!

And still —have begged—for more.

I could have spread—my wings—

And done a thou-sand things—

I've nev-er done be-fore —

I'll nev-er know—what made it so—
ex-cit-ing.—

Why all at once—my heart took
flight.

I on-ly know when he—began to
dance—with me,

I could have danced — danced —
danced, — all night—

BLOW THE MAN DOWN

Come all ye young fellows that
follow the sea

With a yeo-he, we'll blow the man
down

And please pay attention arid listen
to me

Give us some time to blow the man
down.

On board the Black Bailer I first
served my time

With a yeo-he, blow the man down

And in the Black Bailer I wasted
my time

Give us some time to blow the man
down.

Liberace Isn't So Good,

There were tinkers and tailors and
sailors and all

With a yeo-ho, blow the man down
That shipped for good seamen
aboard the Black Ball
Give us time to blow the man down.

'Tis larboard and starboard you
jump to the call

With a yeo-ho we’ll blow the man
down

When kicking Jack Williams com¬
mands* the Black Ball
Give us some time to blow the man
down.

BY THE LIGHT OF
THE SILVERY MOON

By the light of the silvery moon

Honey moon, keep a shining in

Your silvery beams will bring
love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon.

I want to hug you but I fear you'd
break

OH OH OH OH OH you beautiful doll

FRANKIE AND JOHNNY

Frankie and Johnny were lovers
O Lawdy how they could love
Swore to be true to each other
True as the stars above
He was her man, but he done her
wrong.

Frankie and Johnny went walking
Johnny in his brand new suit
O good Lawd says Frankie
Don't my Johnny look cute
He was her man, but he done her
wrong.

Frankie went down to the corner
Stopped for a bucket of beer
She said O Mister Bartender
Has my Johnny been here
He was my man but he done me
wrong.

Now I ain't gonna tell no story
Ain't gonna tell you no lie
Johnny was here an hour ago
With a gal named Nellie Bly
He was your man but he's doin'
you wrong.

Frankie went down to the hock shop
She bought a.little forty-four
She aimed it at the ceiling
And shot a hole in the floor
Where is my man, he's doin' me
wrong.

Frankie went down to the Hotel
She rang that Hotel bell
Stand back all of you chippies
I'll blow you all to hell
I wan' my man, he's doin' me
wrong.

Frankie looked over the transom
And there to her great surprise
Yes there on the bed sat Johnny
Makin love to Nellie Bly
He was her man but he done her
wrong.

Frankie threw back her kimona
She took out the little forty-four
Roota-toot-toot, three times she
shot,

Right through that hardwood door

She shot her man because he done
her wrong.

Johnny he grabbed off his Stetson
O my gawd Frankie don't shoot
But Frankie put her finger on the
trigger

Once again that roota-toot-toot
For he was her man and he done
her wrong.

O roll me over easy
O roll me over slow
Roll me on my right side honey
Where the bullets ain't hurtin' me
so

You've shot your man, 'cause he
done your wrong.

Bring out the rubber tired hearses
Bring our your rubber tired hack
There's twelve men goin' to the
graveyard

And eleven coming back
He was my man but he done me
wrong.

O bring 'round a thousand police¬
men

Bring 'em around today
To lock me in that dungeon
And throw that key away
I shot my man 'cause he done me
wrong.

I've saved up a little bit of money
I'll save up a little bit more
I' 11 send it all to his widow
And say it's from the woman next
door

He was my man but he done me
wrong.

Frankie she said to the warden
What are they goin' to do
The warden he scud to Fr anki e
It's the sizzlin' hot chair for you
You shot your man though he done
you wrong.

This story has no moral
This story has no end
This story only goes to show
That there ain't no good in men
He was her man and he done her
wrong.

' MINNIE THE MERMAID

Many s the night I spent with
Minnie the Mermaid
Down at the bottom of the sea
Minnie lost her morals
Down among the corals
Oh but she was good to me
Many's the night I spent with
Minnie the Mermaid
Down in her old bungalow

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Two twin beds, but only one got
mussed

You can easily see she’s not my
mother

Cause my mother's .forty-nine
You can easily see she’s not my
sister

Cause I never showed my sister
such a helluva good time
And you can easily see she’s not
my sweetheart

Cause my sweetie’s so refined
She'8 just a helluva good kid
Who didn’t care what she did
A personal friend of mine.

HOT TIME IN THE
OLD TOWN

One two three the devils after me

Four five six he's always playin'

Seven eight nine he missed me

There'll be a hot time in the old
town tonight.

When you hear dem bells go ding
ling ling

All join round and sweetly you
must sing

And when the verse am through, in
the chorus all join in

There'll be a hot time in the old
town tonight.

STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK

While strolling thru the park one
day

In the merry month of May

I was taken by surprise by a pair
of rogish eyes

In a moment my poor heart was
stole away

A smile was all she gave to me

Of course it made me happy as
could be

Ah, I immediately raised my hat

And finally she remarked

I never shall forget the lovely
afternoon

I met her at the fountain in the
park

The organ played a wedding tune
In the merry month of June
On her finger went a ring as the
choir began to sing
In a moment we were on our
honeymoon

And then we raised a family
We'd never known how happy we
could be

Oh, tho the future may be cold and
dark

It always will be a lark
And when we're old and gray I'll
still recall the day
I met her at the fountain in the
park.

SCHOOL DAYS

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Reading and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a hickory
stick

You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate I love
you Joe

When we were a couple of kids.

GRAND OLD FLAG

You're a grand old flag
You're a high flyin' flag
•And forever in peace may you wave
You are the emblem of the land I
love

The home of the free and the brave
Every heart beats true for the red,
white and blue

Where there's never a boast or
brag

Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

BYE BYE BLACKBIRD

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low,

Bye Bye Blackbird,

Sugar's sweet, so is she,

Oh what hard luck stories they all

Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight.

Just to ride the ponies
I am that Yankee Doddle boy.

GIVE MY REGARDS TO
BROADWAY

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang on 42nd Street
That I will soon be there
Tell them of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old crowd there
Give my regards to old Broadway
And say that I will soon be there.

MARY

For it was Mary, Mary, plain as
any name can be

But with propriety, society will say
Marie

But it was Mary, Mary, long before
the fashions came
And there is something there
That sounds so square
It's a grand old name.

HARRIGAN

H - A double R - I - G - A - N
spells Harrigan

Proud of all the Irish blood that's
in me

Devil's a man that can say a word
agin me

H - A double R-I-G-A-N. you
see

It's a name that a shame never has
been connected with

Harrigan that's me.

THOSE WEDDING BELLS ARE
BREAKING UP THAT
OLD GANG OF MINE

Not a soul down on the corner
That'a pretty certain sign
That those wedding bells are
breaking up
That old gang of mine
All the guys are singing love songs
They've forgot Sweet Adeline

32

Those wedding bells are breaking
up

That old gang of mine
There goes Jack, there goes Jim
Strolling down lovers lane
Now and then, we meet again
But things don't seem the same
How I get that lonesome feeling
When I hear those church bells
chime

Those wedding bells are breaking
up

That old gang of mine.

EVENING BY THE MOONLIGHT

In the evening by the moonlight
You could hear those darkies
sing in'

In the evening by the moonlight
You could hear de banjo ringin'
How the old folks would enjoy it
They would sit all night and listen
As we sang in the evening by the
moonlight.

TIPPERARY

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell
Leichester Square
It’s a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there.

AIN'T SHE SWEET

Ain't she sweet, see her cornin'
down the street

New I ask you very confidentially
Ain’t she sweet

Ain't she nice, look her over once
or twice

Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice

Just cast an eye in her direction

Oh me oh my ain't that perfection
Now I repeat, don't you think she's
kinda sweet

And I ask you very confidentially
Ain’t she sweet.

THE VIRGIN STURGEON

(tune of Ruben and Rachel)

Caviar comes from the virgin
sturgeon

I The virgin sturgeon's a very fine
1 fish

Virgin sturgeon needs no urgin'

# That's why cariar is my dish.

I fed caviar to my girl friend
She was a virgin tried and true
Now my girl friend needs no urgin'
There isn't anything she won't do

I fed caviar to my grampa
He was a man of ninety-three
Screams and shrieks were heard
from grandma

He had chased her up a tree.

Little Mary went sleigh riding
And the sleigh turned upside down
Little Mary started singing
Massa's In The Cold Cold Ground.

The mailman came one sunny
morning

The policeman came the very next
day

Nine months later there was hell
to pay

Who fired the shot, the blue or the
gray.

If you know another verse lead out
we'll follow.

MY BUDDY

Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all thru the day
My buddy, my buddy, no buddy
quite so true

Miss your voice the touch of your

hand

Just long to know that you under¬
stand

My buddy, my buddy, your buddy
misses you.

THERE'S A LONG, LONG TRAIL

There's a long, long trail a winding
Into the land of my dreams
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true
Till the day when I’ll be going down
That long, long trail with you.

OVER THERE

Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over
there

That the Yanks are coming, the
Yanks are coming

The drums rumtumming everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to
beware

We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't be back till it's over,
over there.

MOONLIGHT BAY

We were sailing along, on Moon¬
light Bay

We could hear the voices singing

They seemed to say

You have stolen my heart

Now don't go 'way

As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song

On Moonlight Bay.

And nobody knew she was there,
(chorus)

The fourth to come in was old Mi
Brewster

She couldn’t see as well as she ui
to

She sat on the handle and swore
someone goosed her
And nobody knew she was there,
(chorus)

The next to go in was old Mrs.
Slaughter

She was the Duke of Effingham's
daughter

She went there to pass of super¬
fluous water

And nobody knew she was there,
(chorus)

The sixth to go in was old Mrs.
Murray

Who had to go in a hell of a hurrj
But when she got there it was too
late to worry

And nobody knew she was there,
(chorus)

The last to go in was old Mrs.
Sickle

She hurdled the door cause she
hadn't a nickle

Gaught her foot in the bowl; what
a hell of a pickle
And nobody knew she was there.

(chorus)

THE DESERT SONG

Blue heaven and you and I
And sand kissing a moonlit sky
A desert breeze whisp'rinq a j
lullaby

Only stars above you to see I lovq

^ you 1
Oh give me that night divine 1

And let my arms in yours entwine
The desert song calling, its voice j
enthralling j

Will make you mine. i

PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
HONEY

Put your arms around me honey
hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up with all
your might

Oh babe won't you roll them eyes

Eyes that I just idolize

When they look at me my heart
begins to float

Then it starts a-rockin like a motor
boat

Oh oh I never knew any girl like
you.

NANCY BROWN

In the hills of West Virginnie
Lived a gal named Nancy Brown
Not a girl half as pretty
For miles and miles around
Now Nancy and the Deacon
Took a walk one day at noon
Went way up in the mountains
But she came down very soon
She came rollin' down the moun¬
tain

She came rollin’ down the moun¬
tain

She came rollin' down the moun¬
tain by the dam

For she sid not give the deacon
The thrill that he was seekin'

She s still as pure as West Virginia
ham

Along came a cowboy, a cowboy
with a song

Took Nancy up the mountain
But she still knew right from wrong
She came rollin' down the moun¬
tain

She came rollin' down the moun¬
tain

She came rollin' down the moun¬
tain by the shack
For despite the cowboy's urgin
She remains a local virgin
Cause she's still as pure as grand-
paw's applejack.

SEVEN OLD LADIES LOCKED
IN THE LAVET'RY

Oh dear what can the matter be

Seven old ladies locked in the
lavet'ry

They were there from Monday till
Saturday

But nobody knew they were there.

The first to come in was old Mrs.

Flynn

®ie prided herself on being so thin

But when she sat down the poor
dear fell in

And nobody knew she was there.

(chorus)

The next to come in was old Mrs.

Bender

She came in to fix up a broken sus¬
pender

It snapped and injured her feminine
gender

And nobody knew she was there.

(chorus)

The third to come in was old Mrs.

Humphrey

Who when she sat down she found
it quite comfy

When she tried to get up she could
not get her rump free

Our Bartender Says An Ounce Of Preventative Is Better Than A Gallo ,J

Of Cure

34

35

Along came a city slicker
Wavin' thousand dollar bills
Took Nancy in his Packard car
Away up in the hills
She stayed up in the mountains
She stayed up in the mountains
She stayed up in the mountains all
that night

She came home the next morn
early

More a woman than a girlie
And her pappy kicked the hussy out
of sight.

Now she's livin' in the city
Livin' in the city
Livin' in the city doin' swell
And her life's all beer and skittles
And she dines on fancy vittles
And the West Virginnie hills can
go to hell.

Along came the depression and the
slicker lost his pants
He lost his great big Packard car
And also little Nance
Now she's back up in the mountains
Yes she's back up in the mountains
Back up in the mountains as of yore
And the cowboy and the deacon
Got the thing that they were seekin'
'Cause she's just another West
Virginnie SWEETHEART.

PLEASE DON'T TALK
ABOUT ME

Please don't talk about me when
I'm gone

Oh honey though our friendship
ceases from now on
And listen if you can't say any¬
thing real nice

It's better not to talk at all, is my
advise

We're parting, you go your way
I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Here's a kiss, 1 hope that this
Brings lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about
me when I'm gone.

PRETTY BABY

Ev'rybody loves a baby that's why
I'm in love with you
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby
And I d like to be your sister,
brother, dad and mother too
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby
Won't you come and let me rock
you in my cradle of love
And we'll cuddle all the time
Oh I want a lovin' baby and it might
as well be you
Pretty Baby of mine.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

Bvervtime it rains it rains pennies
from heaven

Don't you know each cloud contains
pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune falling all
over town

Be sure that your unbrella is up¬
side down

Trade them for a package of sun¬
shine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder don't
run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me.

YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn’t wanna
do it

You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometime,
you made me glad
But there were times dear, you
made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn’t
wanna tell you

I want some love that's true, yes I
do, 'deed I do, you know I do

Gimme, gimme what I cry for
You know you got the brand of
kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you.

embraceable YOU

Embrace me

My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the
gipsy in me

I love all the many charms about j
you

Above all

I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa j

Come to papa do I

My sweet embraceable you.

HAND ME DOWN
MY WALKIN' CANE

Hand me down my walkin' cane
Oh hand me down my walkin' cane
Yes hand me down my walkin' can
For I'm goin' to get that midnight
train

'Cause all my sins are taken awaj
Hand me down my bottle of corn
Oh hand me down my bottle of cori
Oh hand me down my bottle of cori
For I'm goin' to get drunk sure as
you're born

Cause all my sins are taken away.

SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY

Sweet Rosie O'Grady, my dear
little Rose

She'8 my steady lady, most every¬
one knows

And when we are married
How happy we'll be
I love sweet Rosie O'Grady
And Rosie O'Grady loves me.

SOUND OF MUSIC

The hills are alive with the sound
of music

With songs they have sung for a
thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the
sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song
it hears.

My heart wants to beat - - like the
wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the
trees.

My heart wants to sigh like a chime
that flies

From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips
and fails

Over s' >nes on its way.

Tc sir g through the night like a
lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart
is lonely.

I know I will hear what I've
heard before.

My heart will be blessed with
the sound of music -

And I'll sing once more.

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN

Climb every mountain, search high
and low.

Follow every by way, every path
you know.

Climb every mountain, ford every
stream

Follow every rainbow, till you find
your dream!

A dream that will need all the love
you can give -

Every day of your life for as long
as you live.

Climb every mountain, ford every
stream

Follow every rainbow — till you
find your dream.

THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES
MADE

For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now an there'll be a change
in me

My walk will be diff'rent
My talk and my name
Nothin' about me is goin' to be the
same

I goin' to change my way of livin'

If that ain't enough
Then I'll change the way that I strut
my stuff

'Cause nobody wants you when your
old and gray

There'll be some changes made
today

There'll be some changes made.

IF I HAD MY WAY

If I had my way dear, forever
there'd be

A garden of roses for you and for
me

A thousand and one things for you
I would do

Just for you, just for you, just for
you

If I had my way dear, you'd never
grow old

And sunshine I'd bring every day

You would reign all alone

Like a queen on a throne

If I had my way.

WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP

When you wore a tulip, a big yellow
tulip

And I wore a big red rose
And when you carressed me
'Twas then heaven blessed me
What a blessing no one knows
You made life cheery, when you
called me dearie
/Twas down where the blue grass
grows

Your lips were sweeter than julip
When you wore a tulip
And I wore a big red rose.

GALWAY BAY

If you ever go across the sea to
Ireland

Then maybe at the closing of vour
day,

You will sit and watch the moon
rise over Claddagfr

And see the sun go down on Galwav
Bay. J

Just to hear again the ripple of the
trout stream

The women in the meadow making

And to sit beside a turf fire in the
cabin

And watch the barefoot gossoons at
their play.

For the breezes blowing o'er th<
seas from Ireland

Are perfum'd by the weather as
they blow

And the women in the uplands
diggin' praties,

Speak a language that the strangi
do not know

For the strangers came and trie
teach us their way

They scorn'd us just for being wl
we are

But they might as well go chasin
after moonbeams

Or light a penny candle from a
stand.

And if there is going to be a life
hereafter

And somehow I am sure there's
going to be

I will ask my God to let me make
my heaven

In that dear land across the Irislj
sea.

GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME

In the good old summer time
In the good old summer time
Strolling down the shady lane
With your baby mine
She holds your hand and you hold
hers

And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsy-wootsy
In the good old summertime. i

LADY BE GOOD

Oh sweet and lovely lady be good
Oh lady be good to me
I am so awf'ly misunderstood
So lady be good to me
Oh please have some pity
I’m all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe
in the wood
So lady be good to me.

SOMEBODY ELSE IS TAKING
MY PLACE

Somebody else is taking my place

Somebody else now shares your
embrace

While I am trying to keep from
crying

You go around with a smile on your
face

Little you care for vows that you
made

Little you care how much I have
paid

My heart is aching, my heart is
breaking

For somebody's taking my place.

SWEET AND LOVELY

Sweet and lovely

Sweeter than the roses in May

Sweet and lovely

Heaven must have sent her my way
Skies above me

Never were as blue as her eyes
And she loves me

Who would want a sweeter surprise
When she nestles in my arms so
tenderly

There's a thrill that words cannot
express

In my heart a song of love is
taunting me
Meldoy haunting me
Sweet and loveiy
Sweeter than the roses in May
And she loves me
There is nothing more I can say.

WAIT TILL THE SUN 8H3NES
NELLIE

Wait till the sun shines Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
We will be happy Nellie, don't you
sigh

Down lover's lane we'll wander
Sweethearts you and I
Wait till the sun shines Nellie
Bye and bye.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE
BALL GAME

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker
jack

I don't care if I never get back
And I'll root root root for the home
team

And if they don't win it's a shame
For it's ONE TWO THREE
STRIKES you're out
At the old ball game.

I LL GET BY

I'll get by as long as I have you
Tho' there be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain, I'll see it through
Tho' I may be far away it's true
Say what care I dear
I'll get by as long as I have you.

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL
MORNING

There's a bright golden haze on the
meadow

There's a bright golden haze on the
meadow

The corn is as high as an elephant’s
eye

An' it looks like it's climbin' clear
up to the sky

Oh what a beautiful mornin'

Oh what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feelin’

Ev'ry things goin my way.

All the cattle are standing like
statues

All the cattle are standing like
statues

They don't turn their heads as they
see my ride by

But a little brown mav'rick is
winkin' her eye.

(chorus)

All the sounds of the earth are like
music

All the sounds of the earth are like
music

The breeze is so busy it don’t miss
a tree

And a ol' weepin' wilier is laughin'
at me.

(chorus)

WRECK OF THE OLD '97

T1 ey gave him his orders in Monroe
Virginia

Sayin' Steve your way behind time
This is not 38 but it's old 97
You must put her into Spencer on
time

Steve Brookman said to his black
greasy fireman
Shovel on a little more coal
And when you cross that white open
mountain

You can watch old 97 roll

Now it's a mighty rough road from

Lynchburg to Danville
And that lines on a three mile
'Twas on this grade he lost hi;
brakes

You can see what a jump he m
Now he was goin' down the mo
tain

Doin' ninety miles an hour
When his whistle broke out int
scream (TOOT TOOT)
They found him in the wreck
With his hand on the Throttle
Scalded to death by the steam
Now you young wives and swee
heart 8

Take heed to my warnin'

For now and forever more
Never speak harsh words to yc
sweetheart or husband
He may leave you and never r€

SOMEBODY STOLE MY GA

Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her a
She didn't even say she was le^
The kisses I loved so
He'8 getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me If she could
Her broken hearted lonesome j
Somebody stole my gal.

While her loyal Sons are marching
Onward to victory.

MOUNTAIN DEW

My brother Bill's got a still on the
hill

Where he runs off a g illon or
two

And the buzzards in the sk r
Get so drunk they can't fl*

Just from breathin' that good old
mountain dew.

Oh they call it that old mountain
dew, dew, dew

40

41

And them that refuse it are - few
Oh I 11 hush up my mug if you'll fill
up my jug

With that good old mountain dew.

Now my uncle Mort he is sawed off
and short

He don’t measure over four foot twc
But if you give him a pint
He will feel like a giant
Just from drinkin' that good old
mountain-dew.

(chorus)

There s an old hollar tree down the
road here from me
Where you lay down a dollar or two
pien you go 'round the bend
And when you come back again
There s a jug of that good old
mountain dew.

(chorus)

The Preacher rode by with his
high hat and tie

And he said his wife had the flu
So he bought her a pint
And she'll be all right
Just from drinkin' that good.old
mountain dew.

(chorus)

My sister June bought some Paris
perfume

That had a sweet smellin' phew
But much to her surprise
When she had it analyzed
It was only that good old mountain
dew.

(chorus)

And my heart keeps dreaming,
dreaming of one
So softly croon

While the moon weaves our two
hearts in harmony i

Play fiddle play to my love.

MEET ME TONIGHT IN
DREAMLAND

Meet me tonight in dreamland ,
Under the silv’ry moon
Meet me tonight in dreamland
Where love's sweet roses bloon
Come with your love-light glean
In your dear eyes of blue
Meet me tonight in dreamland
sweet dreamy dreamland ’
There let my dreams come true

ALL OF ME

All of me

Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them

Take my arms I'll never use the
Your goodbye

Left me with eyes that cry
How can I

Go on dear without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me.

PLAY FIDDLE PLAY

Play fiddle play, play my loved one
a melody

Sing to my love while the stars
swing above

Play fiddle play, play my loved one
a rhapsody

Play on the strings of her heart

The camp-fires are gleaming as
red as the sun

RAMBLING WRECK

I'm a rambling wreck from Ge<
Tech and a helluva enginec

A helluva, helluva, helluva, hel
helluva engineer.

Like all good jolly fellows, I dr
whiskey clear.

I'm a rambling wreck from G
Tech and a helluva engine©

O'h if I had a daughter, sir, I’d
dress her in blue and gold

And take her on the campus, sia
to cheer the brave and bole

But if I had a son, sir, I’ll tell
what he’d do—

He would yell to hell with Georg
like his Daddy used to do.

SAN ANTONIO ROSE

Deep within my heart lies a mei
ory, a song of old San Antor

Where in dreams I live with a
memory, beneath the stars
alone

It was there I found, beside the
Alamo,

Enchantment strange as the moo
up above.

A moonlit pass, that only she
could know

Still lives in my broken sonq of
love. i

Moon in all your splendor, alonei
in my heart, -j

Call back my rose, Rose of San
Antone.

Lips so sweet and tender, like
petals falling apart.

Speak once again of my love, my
own.

Broken songs, empty words I know,
still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit past by the Alamo,
and Rose, my Rose of San
Antone.

WHY DO I LOVE YOU

Why do I love you, why do you love
me

Why should there be two happy as
we

Can you see the why and where for
I should be the one you care for
You're a lucky girl, I am lucky too
All our dreams of joy seem to
come true

Maybe that’s because you love me
Maybe that's why I loye you.

HONEY

I’m in love with you, Honey
Say you love me too, Honey
No one else will do, Honey,

Seems funny, but it's true.

Loved you from the start, Honey,
Bless your lit-tle heart, Honey,
Every day would be so sunny Honey,
with you.

THE GLOW-WORM

Shine little glow-worm, glimmer
(glimmer)

Shine little glow-worm, glimmer
(glimmer)

Lead us lest too far we wander

Love's sweet voice is calling yon¬
der

Shine little glow-worm glimmer
(glimmer)

Light the path, below, above

And lead us on to love.

Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire

Glow like an incandescent wire

Glow for the female of the specie
Turn on the AC and the DC
This night could use a little
brlghtnin*

Light up you little ol* bug of
lightnin’

When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
Glow little glow-worm glow.

Glow little glow-worm, glow and
glimmer

Swim thru the sea of night, little
swimmer

Thou aeronautical Boll Weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
See how the shadows deep and
darken

You and your chick should get to
sparkin'

I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm glow.

Glow little glow-worm, turn the
key on

You are equipped with tail light
neon

You gotta cute vest pocket Mazda
Which you can make both slow or
fazda

I don't know who you took a shine to
Or who you're out to make a sign to
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm.

SHANTY TOWN

It's only a shanty in old Shanty
Town

The roof is so slanty it touches the
ground

But my tumbled down shack
By an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
Is calling me back
I'd give up a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace it's my
everything

There's a queen waiting there with
a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town.
There's a shanty in the town
On a little plot of ground

44

46

Where the green grass grows a',1
'round all 'round

The roof is so worn, so badly ;orn

That it tumbles to the ground

It’s a little old shack, and it sits
way back

'Bout twenty-five feet from the rail
road track

Lingers on my mind most of the
time, time

Keeps callin me back to my little
old shack

Feel just as sassy as Haile Selasse

If I were a king, 'twouldn't mean a
thing

Put my boots on tall, read the
writin' on the wall

And it wouldn't mean a thing not a
gosh darned thing

There' 8 a queen waiting there in
her rockin chair

Blowin^ her top on some gator beer

Lookin' all around and a truckin'
on down

How I want to go back to my
Shanty Town.

PCJR YOU

I will gather stars out of the blue
for you—for you

(Boy) I'll make a string of pearls
out of the dew

(Girl) I'll wear a string of pearls
made of the dew for you—for
you

Over the highway and over the
street

Carpets of clover I’ll lay at your
feet

Oh, there' 8 nothing in this world I
wouldn't d 6 for you—for you.

SEPTEMBER SONG

Oh it's a long long while from May
to December

But the days grow short when you
reach September

When the autumn weather turns the.

leaves to flame

Oie hasn t got time for the wait

game u f u l

Oh the days dwindle down to a p
cious few

September, November

And these few precious days 11
spend with you

These precious days I’ll spend i \ ies
you.

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARP

You are the promised kiss of
springtime

That makes the lonely winter sd
long

You are the breathless hush of
evening

That trembles on the buck of a
lonely song

You are the angei glow that light
a star ,

The dearest things I know are w
you are

Some day my happy arms will h<
you

And someday I'll know that morxi
divine

When all the things you are, are
mine. !

MOLLY MALONE

In Dublin City where the girls, t
are so pretty

'Twas there I first met with swe
Molly Malone

She drove a wheelbarrow, thru’
streets broad and narrow, j
Crying, ’’Cockles and mussels,
alive, all alive-o.''

Chorus ,

Alive, alive-o! Alive, alive-o
Crying, ’’Cockles and mussels,
alive all alive ''

She was a fishmonger, and that v|
the wonder ]

Her father and mother were fishJ

ows

mongers too

They drove wheelbarrows, through
streets broad and narrow
Crying, ’’Cockles and mussels
alive, all alive."

(Chorus)

She died of the faver, and nothing
could save her

And that was the end of sweet
Molly Malone

But her ghost drives a barrow,

thru' streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
alive, all alive."

(Chorus)

A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
SHURE THEY CALL IT IRELANQ

Shure, a little bit of heaven, fell
from out the sky one day
And nestled on the ocean in a spot
so far away;

And when the Angels found it,

Shure it looked so sweet and fair
They said suppose we leave it, for
it looks so peaceful there
So they sprinkled it with stardust
Just to make the shamrocks grow
'Tis the only place you'll find them,
no matter where you go
Then they dotted it with silver
To make its lakes so grand
And when they had it finished
Shure they called it Ireland.

SILVER DOLLAR

You can throw a Sil-ver Dol-lor
down up-on the ground and it
will roll—because it’s round
A wo-man nev-er knows what a
good man she's got un-til she
turns him down,—

So lis-ten my honey, Lis-ten to me—
I want you to un-der-stand—
that as a Sil-ver Dol-lar goes from
hand to hand a wo-man goes
from man,—-to man,

A wo-man goes from man to man—

A man—with-out a wo-man—
is like a Ship-with-out a sail,

A boat—with-out a rud-der—
or a fish with-out a tail,—

A man—with-out a wo-man—
is like a wreck—up-on the sand,
There's on-ly one thing worse
in the un-i-verse

that'8 a wo-man with-out a man—
A wo-man with-out a man.—
(Repeat first section)

OH! PADDY DEAR
The Wearing of the Green

O Paddy dear and did you hear, tin
news that's going round
The Shamrock is forbid by law to
grow on Irish ground
"And Saint Patrick's Day no more
we'll keep

His color can r t be seen
For there'8 a bloody law against
the wearing of the green
I met with Napper Tandy and he
took me by the hana
And he said "How's poor ould Ire¬
land and how does she stand?"
She's the most distressful country
that ever you have seen
They're hanging men and women
there for wear in' of the green.

DARKTOWN STRUTTER'S BALL

I'll be dawn to get you in a taxi,
honey

You better be ready about half past
eight.

Now Dearie, don't be late
I want to be there when the band
8tarts playing.

Remember when we get there home]
Two stepa and I'm gonna have th!

aii,

Goin' to dance out both my shoes
When they play the jelly roll blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown
Strutter's Ball.

CARRY MB BACK TO OLD
VIRGINNY

Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton and corn
and 'taters grow,

There's where the birds warble
sweet in the Springtime,
There's where this old darkey's
heart does long to go
There's where I labored so hard
for old Massa,

Day after day in the field of yellow
corn,

No place on earth do I love more
sincerely

Than old Virginny the place where
I was born.

Chorus: First seven lines re¬
peated.

THE DAUGHTER OF
ROSIE O'GRADY

She's the daughter of Rosie
O'Grady

A regular old fashioned girl
8he isn't crazy for diamond rings
Silkens and satins and fancy things
She's just a sweet little lady
And when you meet her youUl see
Why I'm glad I caught her, the
daughter of Rosie O'Grady.

COME BACK TO ERIN

Come back to Erin Mavourneen,
Mavourneen

Come back, Aroon, to the land of
my birth

Come with the shamrocks and
Springtime, Mavourneen

And its Killarney shall ring with
our mirth

Sure when we lent ye to beautiful
England

Little we thought of the lone winter
days

Little we thought of the hush of the
star shine

Over the mountain, the bluffs and

the brays.

Then come back to Erin Ivldvou]
neen, Mavourneen,

Come back again to the land of 1
birth

Come back to Erin, Mavourneen
Mavourneen

And its Killarney shall ring witl
our mirth.

THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXJ

There’s a yellow rase in Texas
That I am going to see
Nobody else could miss her
Not half as much as me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke her heart
And if I ever find her
We never more shall part.

(Refrain)

She's the sweetest little rosebud
That Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
That sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clemint
And sing of Rosalee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Is the only girl for me.

Where the Rio Grande is flowing?
And the starry skies are bright
She walks along the river
In the quiet summer night
I know that she remembers
When we parted long ago
I promised to return
And not to leave her so.

(Repeat Refrain)

Oh, now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe !
We'll do the things together
We did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily \

She'll love me like before
And the yellow rose of Texas
Shall be mine for evermore.

(Repeat Refrain)

MORE

More than the greatest love the
world has known.

This is the love I'll give to you
alone.

More than the simple words I try
to say

I only live to love you more each
day.

More than you'll ever know, my
arms long to hold you so.

My life will be in your keeping,
wak-ing, sleep-ing, laugh-ing
weeping

Longer than always is a long,
long time

But for be-yond for-ever you'll
be mine

I know I never lived before and
my heart is very sure

No one else could love you
more.

THE WHIFFENPOOF SONG

To the tables down at Morrie's

To the place where Louie dwells

To the dear old temple bar we love
so well.

See the whiffenpoofs assembled

With their glasses raised on high

And the magic of their singing
casts a spell.

Yes, the magic of their singing

and the songs we loved so well
‘Shall I Be Wasting" and

"Mavoureen" and the rest.

We will serenade our Louie, while
life and the voice shall last

And we'll pass and be forgotten
with the rest.

(Chorus)

We're poor little lambs who have
lost our way
Baa! Baa! Baa!

We're little black sheep who have
gone astray
Baa! Baa! Baa!

Gentlemen songsters off on a spree

Doomed from here to eternity

Lord have mercy on such as we!
Baa! Baa! Baa!

WHERE THE
RIVER SHANNON FLOWS

There's a pretty spot in Ireland
I always claim for my land
Where the fairies and the blarney
Will never, never die
It's the land of the shilialah
My heart goes back there daily
To the girl I left behind me
When we kissed and said goodbye.

Where dear old Shannon's flowing
Where the three leaved Shamrock
grows

Where my heart is I am going
To my little Irish rose
And the moment that I meet her
With a hug and kiss I'll greet her
For there'8 not a colleen sweeter
Where the River Shannon flows.

SIBONEY

Siboney, that's the time that tjiey
croon at you down Havana way

Siboney, that's the dance that they
dance at the cafe.

And that tune brings you dreams
so it seems

Underneath the silver moon,

As they play, Siboney, ev'ry care
will fade away.

Fascinating, captivating, Siboney.

AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and Auld Lang Syne?

(Chorus)

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For Auld Lang Syne,

We’ll take a cup o' kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne.

BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE
ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS

Believe me if all those endearing
young charms

Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow and
fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away
Thou would’st still be adored as
this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin, each
wish of my heart

Would entwine itself verdantly still.

It is not while beauty and youth are
thine own

^ ° heek unprofan’d by a tear
That the fervor and faith of a soul
can be known

To which time will but make thee
more dear

Oh, the heart that has truly loved
never forgets

But as truly loves on to the close

As the 8unflower turns on her aod
when he sets

The 8am e look that she gave when
he rose.

HOME ON THE RANGE

Oh, give me a home where the
buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope

... P lQ y.

Where seldom is heard a discour¬
aging word.

And the skies are not cloudy all

Refrain:

Home, Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope

T,n. play ’

Where seldom is heard a discour¬
aging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all
day. J

Where the air is pure, the zephyrs
so free

The breezes so balmy and light,

That I would not exchange mv
on the range J

For all the cities so bright.
Refrain:

un, give me a land where the
bright diamond sand ■

Flows leisurely down the streJ
Where the graceful white swan*
gliding along ,

Like a maid in a heavenly dreal
Refrain:

ROLLING ALONG

Over hill, over dale
We have hit the dusty trail
And those Caissons go rollina
along.

(Counter march. Right aboi
Hear those wagon soldiers shou
While those Caissons go rollina

For it's: Hi Hi Hee in the Field
Artillery,

Call off your numbers loud and
strong.

You will always know
That those Caissons are rollina

(Keep them rolling)

That those Caissons are rollina

I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOV

I’m in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me,
Funny but when you're near me'
1 m in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Uh! Is it any wonder
I’m in the mood for love.

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We ve put our hearts together
Now we are one, I’m not afraid. ;
Ii there s a cloud above

If it should rain we'll let it,
But for tonight, forget it
I’m in the mood for love.

TENNESSE WALTZ

I was waltzing with my darlin'

To the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to
see.

Introduced him to my loved one
and while they were waltzing,

My friend stole my sweetheart
from me.

I remember the night and the
Tennessee Waltz.

Now I know just how much I have
lost

Yes I lost my little darlin'

The night they were playing
the Beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN

No gal made has got a shade on
sweet Georgia Brown,

Two left feet but oh, so neat has
sweet Georgia Brown.

They all sigh and wanna die for
sweet Georgia Brown,

I'll tell you just why

For you know 1 don't lie, not much!

It's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame
How she cools 'em down,

Fellows she can't get, are fellows
she ain't met,

Georgia claimed her, Georgia
named her,

Sweet Georgia Brown.

HARBOUR LIGHTS

I saw the harbour lights
They only told me we were parting
The same old harbour lights
That once brought you to me.

I watched the harbour lights

51

How could I help if tears were
startipg?

Goodbye to tender nights
Beside the silv’ry sea.

I longed lo hold you near and kiss
you just once more,

But you were on the ship and I was
on the shore.

Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart is
whispering,

Some other harbour lights
Will steal your love from me.

SOMEWHERE MY LOVE

(Dr. Zhivago)

Somewhere, my love - There will
be songs to sing

Although the snow covers the hope
of spring

Somewhere, a hill blossoms in
green and gold

And there are dreams, all that
your heart can hold —
Someday—we’ll meet again my love
Sqmeday - whenever the spring
breaks through —

You’ll come to me - out of the
long ago

Warm as the wind, soft as the
kiss of snow

Till then my sweet - think of
me now and then,

Godspeed my love 'Til you are
mine again.

IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE

Be sure it's true
When you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie.

Many a heart has been broken
Just because these words were
spoken:

I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die,
So be sure it's true
When you say I love you,

It's a sin to tell a lie!

MOON OVER MIAMI

Moca over Miami
Shine on my love and me
So we can stroll
Beside the roll
Of the rolling sea.

Moon over Miami
Shine on as we begin
A dream or two
That may come true
When the tide comes in.

Hark to the song of the smiling
troubadours

Hark to the throbbing guitars
Hear how the waves offer thunder¬
ous applause

After each song to the stars.

Moon over Miami

You know we're waiting for

A little love,

A little kiss,

On Miami shore.

POT ON YOUR
OLD GREY BONNET

Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbons on it,

While I hitoh old Dobbin to the shay,
And through the fields of clover
We'll drive up to Dover
On our Golden Wedding day.

SCATTER BRAIN

You're as pleasant as the morning
And Refreshing as the rain,

Isn't it a pity

That you're such a scatter-brain?

When you smile it's so delightful
When you talk it's so insane
Still it’s charming chatter,
scatter-brain.

I know I'll end up apoplectic but
there’8 nothing I can do
It'8 just the same as being in a
hurricane,

And though my life will be too
hectic

I'm so much in love with y
Nothing else can matter
You're my darling scatter-brai

ON TOP OF OLD SMOKY

On top of Old Smoky
All covered with snow,

I lost my true lover 1

Come a courtin' too slow.

A courtin’s a pleasure
But parting is grief
And a false hearted lover j
Is worse than a thief. j

For a thief he will rob you
And take what you have, j

But a false hearted lover j
Will send you to your grave. 1
She'll hug you and kiss you
And'tell you more lies,

Than the cross ties on the raili
Or the stars in the sky.

CHLO-E

Through the black of night
I got to go where you are
If it's wrong or right
I got to go where you are.

I'll roam through the dismal
swampland,

Searching for you
'Cause if you're lost there
Let me be there too.

Through the smoke and flame
I got to go where you are
For no place could be too far,
where you are

Ain't no chains can bind you,

If you live I'll find you,

Love is calling me
I got to go where you are

THREE COINS IN THE FOUNT

Three coins in the fountain
Each one seeking happiness,
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain blea

Three hearts in the fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome.
Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine.
Make it Mine! Make it mine! Make
it mine!

ON, WISCONSIN!
(University of Wisconsin!)

On, Wis-con-sin! On, Wis-con-sin!
Plunge right thru that line!

Run the ball (clear 'round Chi-ca-

A touch-down sure this time.—

On, Wis-con-sin! On, Wis-con-sin!
Fight on for her fame!

Fight! fel-lows, Fight!

And we will win this game.

PEG OF MY HEART

Peg of my heart I love you
Don't let us part, I love you.

I always knew, it would be you
Since I heard your lilting laughter,
It's your Irish heart I'm after.

Peg of my heart, your glances
Make my heart say, how's chances?
Come, be my own; Come, make
your home in my heart.

FIVE FOOT TWO,

EYES OF BLUE

Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue
But Oh, what those five foot could
do,

Has anybody seen my girl?

Turned up nose, turned down hose,
Never had no-other beaus
Has anybody seen my girl?

Now if you run in to a five foot two
Covered with fur,

Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it iBn't her,

But could she love, could she woo?
Could 8he, could she, could she coo
Has anybody seen my girl?

BLUE MOON

Blue Moon you saw me standing
alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own.

Blue Moon you knew just what I
was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for.

And there suddenly appeared
before me

The only one my arms will ever
hold.

I heard somebody whisper please
adore me,

And when I looked, the moon had
turned to gold.

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own.

I'VE GOT SIX PENCE

I've got six pence, jolly, jolly six
pence;

life;

I'ye got twopence to lend,

And twopence to send home to my

POOR WIFE

No cares have I to grieve me,

No pretty little girls to deceive me,

I m happy as a lark, believe me

As we go rolling, rolling home

Rolling home, (rolling home),
rolling home (rolling home),

By the light of the silvery mo-oo-
oon

Happy is the day when the navy
get's it's pay

As we go rolling, rolling home.

I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly four-
pence

I've got fourpence, to last me all
my life.

I've got twopence to spend and
twopence to lend

And no pence to send home to my

wife. . .

POOR WIFE.

(Refrain)

I've got twopence, jolly, jolly ty
pence

I've got twopence to last me all
life.

I've got twopence to spend,

And no pence to lend,

And no pence to send home to m
wife. . .

POOR WIFE.

I ve got no pence, jolly, jolly no-

Climbing high into the sun;

Here they come zooming to mee
our thunder

At 'em boys, give ’er the gun.

Till the ech-oes ring a-gain.

NEVER ON SUNDAY

Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday,

A Mon-day is ver-y, ver-y good

Or you can kiss me on a Tues day,

A Tues-day, a Tues-day, in fact I
wish you would.

Or you can kiss me on a Wednes¬
day,

A Thurs-day, a Fri day and Sat-ur
day is best.

But, nev-er, nev-er on a Sun-day,

A Sun-day, a Sun-day, Cause that's
my day of rest—

Come an-y day—and you'll be my
guest,—

An-y day you say,—but my day of
rest.—

Just name the day—that you like the
best,—

On-ly stay a-way—on my day of
rest.—

Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day,

A hot day, a wet day, which-ev-er
one you choose.

54

Or try to kiss me on a gray day,

A May day, a pay day, and see if I
refuse.

And if you make it on a bleak day,

A freak day, week-day, why you can
be my guest.

But nev-er, nev-er on a Sun-day,

A Sun-day, the one day I need a
lit-tle rest.

MOON RIVER

Moon Riv-er, wid-er than a mile;

I'm cross-in’ you in style some
day.—

Old dream—mak-er, you heart—
break-er,

Wher-ev-er you’re go-in'. I'm go-
in*-your way:

Two-dr ift-ers. off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.—
We’re aft-er the same rain-bow's
end—wait-in 'round the bend,—
My Huck-le-ber-ry friend. Moon
Riv-er—and me.

THE EYES OF TEXAS

The eyes of Tex-as are up-on you,

All the live-long day;—

The eyes of Tex-as are up-on you,
You can-not get a-way;—

Do not think you can es-cape them,
At night or earl-y in the morn;—

The eye§ of Tex-as are up-on you,
Till Ga-briel blows his horn.

FAR ABOVE CAYUGA’S WATERS

(Cornell University)

Far a-bove Cay-u-gas wa-ters,

With its waves of blue,

Stands our no-ble Al-ma Ma-ter,
Glor-i-ous to view.

Lift the cho-rus, speed it on-ward,
Loud her prais-es tell;

Hail to thee our Al-ma Ma-ter.
Haid, all hail, Cor-nell.

PAPER DOLL

I'm goin' to buy a PA-PER DOLL
that I can call my own,

A doll that oth-er fellows can-not
steal-

And then the flir-ty, flir-ty guys
with their flir-ty, flir-ty eyes,

Will have to flirt with dol-lies that
are real.

When I come home at night she will
be wait-ing,—

She'll be the tru-est doll in all this
world.—

I'd rath-er have a PA-PER DOLL
to call my own,

Than have a fick-le mind-ed real
live girl.

OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma, where the wind comes
sweepin' down the plain

And the wavin' wheat can sure
smell sweet

When the wind comes right behind
the rain

Oklahoma, every night my honey
lamb and I

Sit alone and watch a hawk makin'
lazy circles in the sky

We know we belong to the land

And the land we belong to is grand

And when we say Yeow! A-Yip-i-O-
ee ay!

We're only sayin' you're doin' fine,
Oklahoma! Oklahoma, 0. K.

CHICAGO

Chicago, Chicago, That toddling
town, toddling town

Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you
around I love it

Bet your bottom dollar you lose
the blues in Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could
not shut down

On State Street that Great Street, I
just want to say,—Just want

56

to say

They do things they don’t do on
Broadway

Say, they have the time, the timi
of their life

I say a man, he danced with his
wife,

In Chicago, Chicago, my home
town. i

YES SIR, THAT'S MY BABY

Yes Sir, That's my Baby
No, Sir, Don't mean Maybe
Yes Sir, That's my Baby now.
Yes ma’mam, we’ve decided
No ma'mam we won't hide it
Yes ma'mam, you're invited now
By the way, By the way
When we reach the preacher I’ll
say

Yes Sir, That’s my Baby
No Sir, don’t mean maybe
Yes Sir, That’s by Baby now. ?

Go to your left, t'ya right, t’ya left.

BATTLE HYMN OF
THE REPUBLIC

Mine eyes have seen the glory—

Of the coming of the Lord
His is trampling out the vintage—
Where the grapes of wrath are
stored

He hath los'd the fateful lightning—
Of His terrible swift sword
His Truth is marching on.

(Chorus)

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah—

Glory, Glory, Halelujah
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah,

His Truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watchfires—
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar-

07

In the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence—
By the dim and flaring lamps
His Day is marching on.

(Repeat chorus)

GEORGIA ON MY MIND

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day
through

Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind.

Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as
moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia an my mind..

It goes Ja Da, Ja Da,

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LONELY

Have you ever been lonely?

Have you ever been blue?

Have you ever loved someone—

Just as I love you?

Can't you see I'm sorry—

For each mistake I've made?

Can't you see I've changed, dear,
Can't you see I've paid?

Be a little forgiving—

Take me back in your heart
How can I go on living—

Now that we're apart? I

If you knew what I've been throul
You would know why I ask you I
Have you ever been lonely? ■
Have you ever been blue? I

WHEN YOU'RE SMILING

WHEN YOU'RE SMIL-ING —
WHEN YOU'RE SMIL-ING
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laugh-ing,—

When you're laugh-ing,—

The sun gomes shin-ing thru,—
But when you’re cry-ing—
you bring on the rain,—

So stop your sigh-ing—
be hap-py a-gain
Keep on smil-ing—

'cause WHEN YOU'RE SMIL-ING
The whole world smiles with you

IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY
ABOUT DIXIE

Is it true what they say about
Dixie-

Does the sun really shine all the
time?

Is the sweet magnolia blossom—

Round everbpdy's door .

Do the folks keep eatin' possum-

Till they can't eat no more

Is it true what they say about
Swannie—

Is the dream by the stream so
divine?

Do they laugh, do they love—

Like they do in every song

If it's true, that's where I belong

SOMEDAY (YOU'LL—WANT—
ME—TO—LOVE—YOU)

I know that SOME-DAY
you'll want me to want you,—
When I'm in love
with some-bod-y else,—

You ex-pect me to be true— j

And keep on lov-ing you,

Though I am feel-ing blue,

You think I can’t for-get you
Un-til SOME-DAY
you'll want me to want you,—
When I am strong

lor some-body new.—

And though you don’t want me now
I'll get a-long some-how,

And then I won't-want you.

WAITING FOR THE
ROBERT E. LEE

Watch them shufflin' along—

See them shufflin' along
Go take you best gal, real pal—

Go down to the Levee

Join that shufflin’ throng—

Hear that music and song—

It’s simply great, mate,

Waiting at the Levee-

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee.
