Come Up, Come In With Streamers!, Carl Deis, Alfred Noyes

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Come up, come in with streamers!
Come in with boughs of may!
Come up and thump the sexton,
And carry the clerk away.
Now skip like rams, ye mountains,
Ye little hills like sheep!
Come up and wake the people
That parson puts to sleep.

Come up, come in with streamers!
Come in with boughs of may!
Who knows but old Methuselah
May hobble the greenwood way?
If Betty could kiss the sexton,
If Kitty could kiss the clerk,
Who knows how Parson Primrose
Might blossom in the dark?
Come up, come in with streamers!
Come in with boughs of …

After The War Is Over Will There Be Any "Home Sweet Home", Joseph Woodruff, Elmer J. Pourmon

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Angels they are weeping o'er the foreign war,
Blood streams are flowing from shore to shore.
Brave heroes are falling to arise no more,
But still the bugles's calling every man to war.
(to Chorus)

(Chorus)
After the war is over and the world's at peace,
Many a heart will be aching after the war is ceased.
Many a home will be vacant,
Many a child be alone,
But I hope they'll all be happy
In a place called "Home sweet Home".

Changed will be the picture of the foreign lands,
Maps will change entirely to diff 'rent hands.

Au Revoir, But Not Good-Bye-(Solider Boy), Lew Brown, Albert Von Tilzer

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse One]
So you're leaving me today,
Solider boy
And you're going far away,
Solider boy
There's a tear drop in your eye,
For its hard to say "Good-Bye,"
But you're out to do or die,

All the things we planned to do,
I am sure will all come true,
And I'll watch and wait for you,
Solider boy

[Chorus, repeat 2x]
"Au revoir" but not "Good-Bye,"

Brush that tear drop from your eye,
Solider Boy
When you're on the deep blue sea,
Will you sometimes think of me?
I'll be waiting anxiously,
Solider boy

Beautiful Queen Of The Nile, John L. Golden, Raymond Hubbell

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse One] The sphinx had been silent for thousands of years,
And guarded the secrets of Egypt right well,
But if it would speak, what stories of tears
And tales of sweet love it should tell!
For here in its shadow a wond'rous love came,
A soldier and siren a tent for their home,
The queen of the Nile, Cleopatra, her name
And Anthony, bravest of Rome.
He sued her and wooed her o'er desert and ocean, And this was his song of devotion.

[Refrain] Queen of the Nile,
You've made my life well worth while.
Somehow some way
Some …

Way out in old San Fran
There is a Chinaman Who’s known for miles around,
Wonderful place he keeps
Down where he eats and sleeps underneath the ground;
Each night the festive chinks
Come there to wink and blink,
And dream away the hours,
They sing this funny song
While they are born along
On beds of poppy flow’rs.

You’re King of Chinatown,
Ching Chong, I love your singsong
When you have turned the lights all down;
Ching Chong, just let me swing ‘long Thru the realms of drowsy land,

To someone waiting there for me,
Among the flowers She counts the hours,
She simply carried my heart away,
And I say in dreams ev'ry day:

Just like the flowers you're true,
Waiting and dreaming a garden of roses;
Sometime in the bright Hawaii sunshine,
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine,
And that is just why,

Jack had a girl sent from Heav'n above
Gee, Jack's a lucky boy.
Jack's built a house in the Town of Love.
Right near the Land of Joy.

To Jack and his gal it's a Palace of dreams;
For Jack built it all with his great strong hands,
When Cupid had furnished the Plans.

The House that Jack built is cozy,
The House that Jack built is strong,
Each little dream room is rosy
And the whole house rings with song.
When Winter;s cold winds are blowing,
And when …

I never felt so blue, but I know what to do,
I've got a great idea.

Anywhere, I don't care.

But all my dancing partners are "Somewhere in France."

Sometimes in the hush of the evening hour,
When shadows creep from the west
I think of the twilight songs you sang
And the boy you lull'd to rest;
The wee little boy with tousled head,
That long, long, ago was thine;
I wonder if sometimes you long for that boy,
O little mother of mine!

And now he has come to man’s estate,
Grown stalwart in body and strong
You’d hardly know that he was the lad
You lull’d with your slumber song
The years have alter’d the form and the life,
But the heart …

Upon a world of night
Unto the soul revealing Light!

O love that will not die,
Bind me with chains immortal,
Yea, Bind me forever and a day,
Bind me forever and a day,
Nor tell me why! Nor tell me why!

In the ev'ning when the stars are peeping thru,
Skies of cloudless beauty that are ever blue,
Sighing hearts their tales of love are telling,

Hula dancers swaying in their glee,
There the moon is shinning and my heart is pining,
Yes, I hear you calling me.

Your palmy shady lanes,
Your songs and sweet refrains,
Ever calling, Saying to me
Come back to me beside the sea,
My Hawaii, My Hawaii, you're calling me.

Virginia gave us Washington, way back in Sev’nty six
Kentucky gave us Lincoln when our boys were in a fix

In cities and farms

The modern wife leads a dreadful life,
That seems the modern fashion.
For wicked ways
And cabarets,
She seems to have a passion.

That sort of thing,
I know I’d hate.
So

In the good old fashioned way

From my home I’ll never stray.
Although the thing that’s smart, is
To be out all night at parties,

With my knitting
In the good old fashioned way.

I want to be a good little wife
