There,s a brigh golden haze on the
meadow,
There,s a bright golden hase on the
meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
And it looks like it's reaching up to
the sky.
Chorus
Oh, what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I,ve got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.
And the cattle are standing like statues,
And the cattle are standing like statues,
They won't turn their heads as they see me
go by,
And a little brown maverick is winking
her eye.
Repeat Chorus
The sun shines bright in the old
Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in
the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy and bright;
By'n bye hard times come a-knocking at
the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Goodnight.
Chorus
Weep no more, my lady, O weep no
more today!
We will sing one song for the old
Kentucky home,
For the old Kentucky home far away.
They hunt no more for the possum and
the coon,
On the meadow the hill and the shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer of the
moon,
On the beach by the old cabin door;
the day goes by like a shadow o'er the
heart,
With sorrow where al we delight;
The time has come when the darkies
have to part,
Then my old Kentucky home, Goodnight.
Repeat Chorus
Margie, I'm always thinking about you Margie,
I'll tell the world I love you,
Don't forget your promise to me,
I have brought a home and a ring and
everything for Margie,
You,ve been my inspiration,
Days are never blue, after all is said and
done,
There is only one,
Oh! Margie, Margie it,s you
My little you.
Way down upon the Swanee River, far,
far, away,
Dere's where my heart is turning ever,
Dere's where de old folks stay.
All up and down de old creation, sadly I
roam,
Still longing for de old plantation,
And for the old folks at home.
Chorus
All the world am sad and weary, everywhere
I roam,
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home.
All round the little farm I wandered
When I was young;
Then many happy days I squandered,
Many the song I sung.
When I was playing with my brother
How happy was I.
Oh! take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die!
Repeat Chorus
Oh, I went down South for to see my gal,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
My Sally am a dandy gal,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
Repeat
Chorus
Fare the well, fare the well,
Fare thee well, my fairy fay,
For I am off to Louisiana,
For to see my Susy Anna,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
Oh, a grasshopper sitting on a railroad track,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day,
A-picking his teeth with a carpet tack,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
Repeat
Repeat Chorus
Behind the barn,down on my knees,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all day,
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze,
Singing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
Repeat
Repeat Chorus
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
Iy never was worth while,
so---pack up your troubles in your old
kit bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
Sally, Sally,
Don,t ever wander away from the alley
and me;
Sally, Sally,
Marry me, Sally, and happy forever I'll be;
When skies are blue you're beguiling,
And when they'er grey you're still
smiling, smiling,
Sally, Sally,
Pride of our alley,
You're more than the whole world to me.
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! Faire well,Leicester
Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart,s right there.
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you,
My dear old swanee.
I'd give the world to be among the folks
in D.I.X.---
I even know my Mammy's waiting for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more,
When I get to the Swanee shore.
Oh we ain't got a barrel of money,
Maybe we're ragged and funny,
But we,ll travel along, singing this song,
Side by side
Don't know what's coming tomorrow,
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow,
But we'll travel the road, sharing our load,
Side by side.
Through 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 travelling along, singing this song,
Side by side.
There is a tavern in the town, in the town,
And there may true love sits him down,
sits him down,
And drink his wine 'mid laughter free,
And never, never thinks of me, thinks
of me.
Fare-the-well, for I must leave thee.
Do not let this parting grieve thee,
And remember that the best of friends
must part, must part,
Adieu, adeiu, Kind friends, adieu, adieu,
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.
Two little girls in blue, lad,
Two little girls in blue,
They were sisters, we were brothers,
And learned to love the two.
And one little girl in blue, lad,
Who won your father's heart,
Became your mother, I married the
other,
But now we have drifted apart.
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head,
No matter where I roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.
Who were you with last night?
Out in the pale moonlight?
It wasn't your sister, it wasn't your ma,
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
Who were you with last night?
Out in the pale moonlight?
Are you going to tell your missus,
When you get home?
Who you were with last night.
The other night deer I lay dreaming,
I dreampt I held you in my arms,
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried,
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,
So please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear, you really
loved me,
And no one else should come between,
But now you've left me to love another,
You have broken all my dreams.
Repeat First Verse
Once a Jolly swagman camped beside a
billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited while his
billy boiled,
"who'll come a waltzing Matilda with
me----
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?"
And he sang as he sat and waited while his
billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?"
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the
billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabed
him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck
in his tucker-bag,
"Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with
me---
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
who'll come a waltzing Matilda with
mee?"
And he sang as he sat and waited while his
billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?"
Up came the squatter riding on his
though bred,
Up came the troopers---one, two, three---
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in
your tucker-bag,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?
Whose is that jumbuk you've got in your
tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Up jumped the swagman and sprung into
the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he.
And his ghost can be heard as we pass
beside the billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
who'll came a-waltzing Matilda with
me?"
And his ghost can be heard as we pass
beside the billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
me?"
Last night I lay a-sleeping,
There come a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there.
I heard the children singing,
And ever as they sing,
Me-through the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang:--
"Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing,
Hisanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King!"
And then me-thought my dreams was
chang'd
The streets no longer rang
Hush'd were the glad Hosannas
The little children sang:-
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill.
"Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark how the angels-sing,
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna to your King.
And once again the scene was changed,
New earth there seem'd to be,
I saw the Holy City
Beside the tid less sea;
The light of God was on its streets,
The gates were open wide,
All and who would might enter,
And no one was denied.
No need of moon and stars by night,
Or sun or shine by day,
It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away.
"Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Sale for the night is o'er.
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna evermore.
Sing as we go, and let the world go by,
Sing a song we march along the highway,
Say goodbye to sorrow,
There's always tomorrow,
To think of today,
So as we go, althrough the skies are grey,
Begger or king, we've got to sing a gay tune,
A song or a smile, making life worthwhile,
So sing as we go along.
