Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side, The summer's gone and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. 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, I love you, love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye'll come and find the place where I …

Adam And Eve Had A Wonderful Time, Albert Gumble, A. Seymour Brown

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Back in the dark and prehistoric age,
Leo, the lion, and the tiger, too,
Long before rag time tunes became the rage,
They had a "Tango" that they used to do;
Back in the garden of Eden, I mean,
Old brother monkey was leading the band,
Adam was king and Eve was the queen. (They tell me.)
Gee, it was grand! the best in the land! (Some leader!)
And every night they used to give a ball,
Then the hyena, he began to laugh,
Under the big jungle moon.
Went in hysterics and cried:
animals all would prance,
Adam and …

Handsome Harry, Handsome Harry Thomas,
He was sued, yes, sued for breach of promise,
He took Mary walking through the dell,
And said "Now dont you dare tell,
Mary went right home and told her mother,
Ma told Pa and Pa then told her brother,
Brother told the preacher and the preacher went and tolled a wedding bell.
CHORUS
Never take a walk with Mary,
Never take a walk with Sue
Never take a walk with Maud or Carrie,
That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry,
If you take a girl out walking,
Down a little shady dell, …

If I take you in my confidence and tell you something new,
Be a mason girls, and don't repeat;
Honest I can keep a secret but the ones I tell it to,
Always tell it to each one they meet.

I fell in love with him;
He saw me home last evening all alone,
Of course I asked him to come in.
Oh! joy! Some Boy!

First We had a talk and then,
We sat by the fire and then,
It was getting warm and so,

Connais tu le pays ou fleurit l’oranger,
Le pays des fruits d’or et des roses vermeil les?
Ou la brise est plus douce, et l’oiseau plus leger,
Ou dans toutw saison butinent les abeilles,

Girl I Loved In Auld Lang Syne, Verna Wilkens, Robert F. Roden

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
Tonight it seems I'm roaming
Where the roses bloom so fair.
Again it seems we're gaily building castles in the air,
Alas! those castles crumbles one by one long, long ago,
And far away is she who fondly sighed, "I love you so."

[Chorus]
Ev'ry night I see a picture, of a little girl in gray,
In the old lane where we parted, at the closing of the day,
Ev'ry night I dream the love dreams, that I dreamt when she was mine;
Though I lost her, still I love her, the girl I loved in Auld Lang …

Good Bye, All, Ramone A. Browne

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
Hear that steam-boat whistle blow!
Calling, calling me to go;
Hear them shouting "All aboard!"
In my heart that strikes a chord;
You're wasting time to try and make me cancel
I've made my mind up, and I'm on my way.

[Chorus]
I'll soon be back among the old folks;
Back to the place where I was born;
Among old fashioned solid gold folks
Whose lives are like a
Summer morn, all sunshine;
I'm going back to my first sweet-heart;
Back to the Old Town Hall;
In "Humpty Dumpty Town"
I'm goin' to settle down
Good bye all! …

Good-Bye, Little Girl Of My Dreams, Richard Howard, A. Fred Phillips

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
I wonder and wonder, if there’ll come a day,
when the girl for my dreams will exist.
I, wonder and wonder and hope that there may,
For only in dreams have we kissed.
I see her fair face ev’ry night in my dreams,
it’s as sweet as the roses that bloom,
But soon it is morn and then she is gone,
So I say as she fades with the moon.

[Chorus]
Good bye little girl of my dreams
Good bye little girl of my dreams,
I’d like to feel,
That you are real,
For you are mine it …

Tears for my heart?
Prayers for my soul?
My tears are old,
My prayers for naught.
My fate I weave with shuttle old
Here to remain,
Fore’er and e’er.
My life is written, scarlet and black
Here to remain,
Fore’er and e’er,
My love has flown
My tears are old
The land of ghosts,
Calls for my soul.

A fellow who was lonesome
Came into a cafe
He sat down at a table
With a girl across the way,
In no time they were chummy,
He took her little hand,
And as he did, he noticed that
She wore a wedding band.
he started into cry
and when she asked him why?
He said

Till you met me instead of being in a hurry.

Is that a tear in your eye, dear?
Is that a sigh I hear?
Why be so sad and so lonesome
When there is someone so near?

Into the flow’rs of May.

Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze
In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there,

In A Lonely Cabin, On A Lonely Road, S. R. Henry, George A. Norton

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Mem'ry takes me to a stream that flows,
Thro' the hills of the Tennessee.
Once again I see the blushing Rose,
Who gave her love to me;
Her hair was fragrant with the breath of June,
her heart sang happily its first glad tune,
her lips said, "Yes," beneath the Southern moon
And it's there I long to be.

CHORUS
In a lonely cabin on a lonely road,
In a lonely part of Tennessee,
Where a lonely girlie with a lonely heart is waiting patiently;
There's a lonely bench , beneath a lonely tree,
There's a light in the window …

In Memory Land With You, Cass Freeborn, Raymond A. Browne

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
Across the fields the birds are homeward flying;
The first soft breeze of eventide is here;
The sun, in crimson glory, fast is dying;
And distant village bells ring softly clear.
Alone am I, among the brook of silver hue,
And yet it is the happiest of hours
Because I am in Mem'ry Land with you.

[Chorus]
In Memory Land with you, Dearest,
Just like a dream but more real;
In Memory Land with you, Dearest,
As our souls their secrets reveal;
it is years since we parted in sadness;
The flow'r of our love never grew;
But …

In my garden of vanished dreams,
In the land of pure delight,
I soar to where my love star gleams,
Thro' the purple haze of night,
in a magic boat I idly float,
Down rose embowered streams,
And care takes wing,
For love is King,
In my garden of vanished dreams.

In my garden of vanished dreams,
That fade with the opal dawn,
The day is waste night bids me haste,
To where my dreams have gone,
Each lovely bloom,
Each sweet perfume with rare perfection teems,
No dark'ning shower beclouds the hour,
In my garden of …

I have a girlie that really is truck on a moving picture show,
I take her out every night in the week and down to the movies we go

She likes all the Pathes and Lubins she sees,
And the Vitograph pictures they fill her with glee
Now she is the girlies for me.

She’s my moving picture girl,

Most every night when the clock strikes eight
To the movies we go; you bet she’s never late.
She has moving picture eyes

I drink in their beauty, and dream.
I dream of a maiden pure and fair,
A maid with a thousand charms,

But worship at thy feet.
O Star! My Star!

Little Nancy Green and handsome Harry Brown,
Could be found at ev’ry Tango ball in town,
They were there from start until the ve’ry end
They had ‘evry twist and bend

Then they’d Tango round and then another whirl,
And when the orchestra began to play Nancy Green would softly say:

Oh it is a daisy,

Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,

In tones so sweet and low,
