Many the hopes that have vanished

The Marrow Song

听

(Ooooh! What a beauty!),

听I've never seen one as big as that before

(Ooooh! What a beauty!),

听It must be two feet long or even more

It's such a lovely colour, and nice and round and fat

I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that

(Ooooh! What a beauty!),

听I've never seen one as big as that before

Ship Ahoy

听

All the nice girls love a sailor,

All the nice girls love a tar;

For there鈥檚 something about a sailor -

Well, you know what sailors are!

听

Bright and breezy, free and easy,

He鈥檚 the ladies 鈥榩ride and joy -

Falls in love with Kate and Jane,

Then he鈥檚 off to sea again

Ship Ahoy! Ship Ahoy!

Swanee

听

Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee.

I'd give the world to be among the folks in

听D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me,

praying for me down by the Swanee.

The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore

California, Here I Come

听

California, Here I Come

Right back where I started from

Where bowers of flowers

Bloom in the spring

Each morning at dawning

Birdies sing at everything

A sun kissed miss said don't be late

That's why I can hardly wait

Open up that golden gate

California, Here I Come听听听听听听听听

My Old Man

听

My old man said: "Foller the van,

And don't dilly-dally on the way".

Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it.

I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet.

But I dillied and dallied,

Dallied and dillied;

Lost me way and don't know where to roam.

And you can't trust a "Special"

Like the old-time copper

When you can't find your way home.

The boy I love

听

The boy I love is up in the gallery,

The boy I love is looking now at me,

There he is, can't you see, waving his handkerchief,

As merry as a robin that sings on a tree.听听听听听听听听

The Old Bull and Bush

听

Come, come, come and make eyes at me

down at the Old Bull and Bush,

Da, da, da, da, da,

Come, come, drink some port wine with me,

Down at the Old Bull and Bush,

Hear the little German Band,

Da, da, da, da, da,

Just let me hold your hand dear,

Do, do come and have a drink or two

down at the Old Bull and Bush!听听听 Bush! Bush!
