They're congregating for me and my galThe Parson's waiting for me and my gal
And sometime, I'm goin' to build a little home for twoFor three or four, or more, in Loveland for me and my gal
31.Walking My Baby Back Home
Gee, it's great after bein' out lateWalkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farmWalkin' my baby back home
We go 'long harmonizing a songOr I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eyeWalkin' my baby back home
We stop for a while, she gives me a smileAnd snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I getHer talcum all over my vest
After I kinda straighten my tieShe has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue againWalkin' my baby back home
32.Sunny Side Of The Street
Grab your coat grab your hatLeave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feetOn the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter patAnd that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shadeWith those blues on parade
But I'm not afraidMy rover, crossed over
If I never have a centI'll be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feetOn the sunny side of the street
33.Delilah
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her windowI saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my womanAs she decieved me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, DelilahWhy, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for meBut I was lost like a slave that no man could free
34.Side By Side
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of moneyMaybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel alongSinging a song side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrowMaybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the roadSharing our load side by side
Through all kinds of weatherWhat if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're togetherIt doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and partedWe'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling alongSinging a song side by side
35.Bye Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my care and woeHere I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for meSugar's sweet, so is he
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand meOh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the lightI'll arrive late tonightBlackbird, bye bye
36.If You Were The Only Girl In The World
If you were the only girl in the worldAnd I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world todayWe would go on lovin' in the same old way
A garden of Eden just made for twoWith nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to youThere would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy
37.Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,For auld lang syne.
38.Merry Widow Waltz
Love unspoken, faith unbroken,All life through.
Strings are playing, hear them saying,"Love me true".
Now the echo answers,"Say you want me too".
All the world's in love with loveAnd I love you.
39.Tulips From Amsterdam
When it's Spring again I'll bring againTulips from Amsterdam
With a heart that's true I'll give to youTulips from Amsterdam
I can't wait until the day you fillThese eager arms of mine
Like the windmill keeps on turningThat's how my heart keeps on yearning
For the day I know we canShare these tulips from Amsterdam
40.Magic Moments
Magic, moments,When two hearts are carin',
Magic, moments,Memories we've been sharin'. . .
I'll never forget the moment we kissed,The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,While takin' a sleigh ride.
Magic, moments,Memories we've been sharin',
Magic, moments,When two hearts are carin' . . .Time can't erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,Filled with love!
41.Ship Ahoy!
All the nice girls love a sailorAll the nice girls love a tar
For there's something about a sailor(Well you know what sailors are!)Bright and breezy, free and easy,
He's the ladies' pride and joy!He falls in love with Kate and Jane, then he's off to sea again,
Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!
42.Get Me To The Church
I'm gettin' married in the morningDing, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopperBut get me to the church on time
I got to get there in the morningSpruced up and lookin' in my prime
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss meBut get me to the church on time
If I am dancing roll up the floorIf I am whistling right out the door
I got to get there in the morningDing, ding, dong, they're gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, don't lose your compassGet me to the church, get me to the churchPete's sake, get me to the church on time
43.Waiting At The Church
There was I, waiting at the church,Waiting at the church, waiting at the church;
When I found he'd left me in the lurch.Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a noteHere's the very note, this is what he wrote:
"Can't get away to marry you today,My wife, won't let me!"
