55.-0H, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE

In .a. cavern, in a canyo11, Excavating for a mine, Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, And his daughter, Clementine.

Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost .and gone for ever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, .and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine; Herring boxes, witlhout topses, Sandals were for Clementine.

Drove sihc ducklings to the water, Ev'ry mr :ting just at nine, Hit her f · ,t .against a splinter, Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water, Blowing buhbles soft and fine, Alas for me! I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine.

There's where you '11 find your coats and vests Ancl everything that's neat;

For all the boys they trade with me, At a Hundred a forty-nine.

CHORUS:

0, Solomon Levi! Levi, tra, la, l.a, b .. Poor Solomon Levi, Tra, l.a, la, la. la, ]a; la, la.

la, la. (Repeat first verse. )

But when a bummer comes inside 1\Iy store on Chatham Street,

And tries to hang me up for coat And pants .and vest complete,

I kicks tJbat bummer out of my store, And on him sets my pup,

For I won't sell clothes to any man, Who tries to hang- me up.

58.-SMILE A WHILE

(Tune: "Till We Meet Again.")

Smile awhile and give your face a rest. (Everybody ~;mile.)

Stand up straight and elevate your chest. (Everyone erect and expand chest.)

60.-THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

(Copyright 1941 by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc. Reproduced by permission)

I '11 never forget the people I met, Braving those angry skies;

I remember well, as the shadows fell, The light of hope in tfueir eyes.

And tho' I'm far aw:ay, I still can hear them say,

"Thumbs Up!" For when tlhe da-wn C'Omes up-

CHORUS: There'll be Bluebirds over The white cliffs of Dover Tomorrow, just you wait and see: Th'ere'll be love .and laughter, And peace ever after, Tomorrow, when the world is free.

When night shadows fall, I always rPcall, Out there across the sea,

Twilight falling down upon .a little town. It's fresh in my memory;

I 'h'ear a mother pray, And to her baby say,

"Don't C!"y! "-This is her lullaby:

61.-DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

(Copyright 1941 by Melody Lane Publications, Inc. Hollywood, California. Reproduced by

special permission)

The stars at night are big and bright Deep in the heart of TexltS,

The prairie sky is wide and high. Deep in the hf'.art of Texas.

The sage in bloom is like perfume Deep in the heart of Texas,

Reminds me of the one I love, Deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail along the trail, Deep in the heart of Texas,

The rapids rush around the brush, Deep in the heart of Texas.

62.--JUST A SONG AT TWILIGHT

~lust a song at twilig'ht when the light.c:; are low, And the :flickering shadows softly come and go ; Thougl1 the heart be weary, sad the d.ay and long, Still to us at twilight comes love's sweet song, Comes love's eld sweet ~ong.

63.-THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE

Dear one, the world is waiting for tlhe sunrise; Every rose is heavy with dew.

The thrush on high, his sleepy mate is calling And my lheart is c.alling you !

64.-I BELONG TO GLASGOW

I belong to Glasgow, Dear old Glasgow town.

But what is the matter with Glasgow, For it is going around and around.

I'm only .a common old working chap, As anyone here can see,

But when I get a couple of drinks on a Saturday,

Glasgow belongs to me.

65.-THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE

Dear face that holds o sweet .a smile for me, Were you not mine, how dark tlhe " 'orld would be, I know no light above that could replace, Love's radiant su:nshine in your dear, de.ar, face.

Give me your smile, the lovelight in your eyes, Life could not hold a fairer Paradise. Give me the right to love you all ~b·e while, My world forever, the sunshine of your smile.

103.-ROOK OF AGES

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide mysel:C in Thee; Let he 'rater and the blood,

/ From Thy riven side which flowed, Be o£ .;in the double cure; Clearse me from its guilt and po,,.er.

Nothing in my h.an<l I bring; Simply to rrhy cross I cling ; Naked, come to rrhee for dr&%; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly, ·wash me Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, ·when I so.ar throug{h. tracts unknown, See 'l'hee on Thy judgment-tln·one; Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

104.-ETERNAL FATHER

Eternal Fathc:r, ·strong to ~ave, vVhose arm ha11h bound the restless wave, Who bidd. 'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; 0 hear us when 11e cry to Thee For tlhose in peril on the se.a.

0 Trinity of love aud peace, Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe 'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glacl Hymns of praise from land .and sea.

105.-JESUS, SA VIOUS, PILOT ME

Jesus, Sa vi our, pilot me, Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and trea~hm·ous shoal; Ch.art ana compass come from rrhee, ,Jesus. Saviour, pilot me.

When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers ·roar, 'T,vizt me and the peaceful rest­Then, while le.aning on 11hy breast, 1\iay I hear Thee sa~' to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee".

106.-STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Y e soldiers of the ~ross; Ljft high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss : From victory unto victory, His army He sh.all lead, Till every foe is vnnquisihed, .And Christ is Lol'cl indeed.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 'l'he trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty ·conflict In this His glorious clay. Ye that are men, now serve Him Against unmunberecl foes; Your ·cour.a.ge rise with O.anger, And strength to strengtlh nppose.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Th·J strife will not be long; 'rhis day th£ noise of battle The next the victor's song: To him t!h.at over.cometh A crown of life shall be ; He with the King of Glory, Shall reign eternally.
