Memories

Memories memories dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memories I'm drifting back to you

Childhood days wildwood days among the birds and me
You left me alone but still you're my own
In my beautiful memories

(Memories memories dreams of love so true)
[ instrumental ]
Childhood days wildwood days among the birds and me...

Mighty Lak' A Rose

F.L. Stanton - Ethelbert Nevin

© Church John Co, ASCAP

Sweetest little fellow everybody knows
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose
Looking at his mommy with eyes so shiny blue
Makes you think that heaven dear is coming close to you

When he's there a sleeping in his little place
Think I see the angels looking through the lace
When the dark is falling when the shadows creep
Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep

Sweetest little fellow everybody knows...
[ instrumental ]
When the dark is falling...
Sweetest little fellow everybody knows...

Beautiful Dreamer

Stephen Foster

© Dunwich Music, ASCAP

Beautiful dreamer wake unto me
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for Thee
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day
Loved by the moonlight have all passed away

Beautiful dreamer queen of my song
List while I woo Thee with soft melody
(Beautiful dreamer beautiful dreamer)
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me

Beautiful dreamer out on the sea
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie
Over the streamlet vapors are born
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn

Beautiful dreamer beam on my heart
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea
(Beautiful dreamer beautiful dreamer)
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me

Keirn Brennan - Ernest Ball

© Witmark And Sons, ASCAP

Boy of mine boy of mine although my heart was aching
I seem to know you'd want to go pride in your manhood waking
I'll be here waiting dear till at the glad dawn's breaking
I'll hear you say you're home to stay dear little boy of mine
Dear little boy of mine
[ instrumental ]
Dear little boy of mine dear little boy of mine
(Dear little boy of mine)

Galway Bay

Arthur Colaham

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot cousins at their play

(For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way
They scorned us just for being what we are)
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star

And if there is gonna to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's gonna be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea

Mother Machree

Chauncey Olcott - Rida Young - Ernest Ball

© WB Music, ASCAP

There's a spot in me heart which no colleen may own
There's a depth in me soul never sounded or known
There's a place in my mem'ry my life that you fill
(No other can take it) no one ever will

Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair
And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care
I kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me
Oh God bless you and keep you Mother machree
[ instrumental ]
Every sorrow or care in the dear days gone by
Twas made bright by the light of the smile in your eye
Like a candle that's set in a window at night
(Your fond love has cheered me) and guided me right

Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair...

Across The Wide Missouri

Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl

© Gentleman Jim Music, ASCAP

Away beyond the wide Missouri way across that rolling river
Away out west there lies the fortune
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri

I rode out west and reached the ocean way across that rolling river
To look for gold I took a notion
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri
[ instrumental ]
Away out west there lies the fortune
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Danny Boy

Fred Weatherly

© Boosey And Hawkes Music, ASCAP

Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me

And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
