First Verse I'm sad and lonely, There's a good reason why Nobody cares about me That's why I'm sad as can be I long for someone Somebody, yes indeed Lovin' kisses from one, Is exactly what I need Second Verse I'd love a sweetie, Hanging around the place Someone to worry about I'd never want to go out My home is gloomy Nobody's there that's why I feel "bride and groomy" Can't you see it in my eye Chorus Many's the time I feel so lonesome But nobody knows, And nobody cares I've grown so tired of being by "my own some" I want somebody to hug, Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in the rug, Many's the time I feel like spooning, But nobody knows and nobody cares I guess I'll make out a little "ad" That I want some lovin so bad 'Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care.

I Miss You Honey, Miss You All The Time Year 1911 < Click here to listen ! > By Charles K. Harris Published by Chas. K. Harris

First Verse I can see a picture of a cottage In a valley 'neath a Southern sky, I can see her standing 'mid the flowers. Where we plighted troth, my love and I; Just a lovers quarrel, then we parted, She may love another, I suppose But my heart goes out to her with yearning, And I wonder if my Honey knows. Second Verse Violets are growing in the meadow, Honey suckles twine around her door, I can see her in the grassy orchard. Over her the pink white blossoms pour; There is something calls me back to Honey, 'Tis no use, I'm going home today, Take her in my arms once more and tell her, How I longed to see her and to say. Chorus Oh, how I miss you Honey, miss you, Could I only kiss you, kiss you, If I could but hold you in my arms again; For, oh, my heart is sad and weary Just for you, my little dearie, How I miss you, honey, miss you all the time.

Auf Wiedersehn Fraulein Year 1907 < Click here to listen ! > By J. Fred Helf Featured by Al. H Wilson The Singing Ambassador of German Dialect Hitland Music Publishers Elf & Hager Co. 43 W. 28th St. New York

First Verse Fraulein mine, the silvry Rhine is gleaming in the moonlight, The trumpets blast Has come at last Upon this silent June night. Your tear dimmed eyes like star lit skies, Look into mine with yearning, They plead in vain, Auf Wiedersehn, Some day I'll be returning. Second Verse Fraulein mine, though stars may shine, And foaming steins be clinking, By campfires bright, A toast each night, To you I will be drinking. No dark eyed maid I'll serenade, Our tale of love to hinder, To each I'll vow, I've got a Frau, And half a dozen kinder. Chorus There's a smile on your lips Fraulein darling, There are tears in your eyes of blue, And the sound of the trumpet is calling, Fare thee well, fare thee well to you. Though we part, still my heart will be yearning, Till we meet by the beautiful Rhine, Fraulein mine, for Auld Lang Syne, down by the Rhine we'll drink a stein, Auf Wiedersehn, Fraulein!
