First
Verse
I've lost my appetite, Can't sleep a wink
at night, There's something haunting me, In all my dreams
I see A quaint old bungalow, Where sweet magnolias grow, And
southern breezes blow, I want you to know,
Second
Verse
The Southern atmosphere Will find me full
of cheer. I'll ramble here and there, And never have a care.
I'll have some pigs in pens, Also some laying hens, That lay
by fives and tens, Let me tell you, friends,
Chorus
I've got a sneaky feeling 'round my heart
That I want to settle down I guess I'll pack my grip and take
a trip To a good old southern town. You can have your high
brow airs, Just give me three good squares with the corn and
'lasses, served by Rastus; I'll be tickled to death to know
that I can stay right there, And I'll never care to roam;
Come on along with me and have a jubilee, In my old Kentucky
Home.

First
Verse
It's hard when a couple of pals have to
part, But it's all for the best, old Gal, So don't try to
tell me what's down in your heart, For I know what's in mine,
old pal, Smile through your tears tho it may be for years,
say good bye and good luck to me Sal.
Second
Verse
When we were a couple of kids long ago,
It was love at first sight, old Gal, Our love will grow stronger,
as older we grow, It's the kind that will last, old pal, Tears
are just tears but a smile lasts for years, let me take one
away with me Sal.
Chorus
So long Sal, you've always been one grand
old Pal. I hate to see you grieve, you hate to see me leave,
But I'll be back with a bundle of kisses for you, Keep a cozy
corner for me 'way down in your heart Goodbye Pal So long
Sal, You know the best of friends must part.

First
Verse
Sammy was a skipper with a lonesome past
For, when he shipped upon a clipper 'fore the mast, He sailed
the salty seas about a year or more Until he met a native
maiden in Samoa. He told her her all the tales of love he
knew, And then he sailed away; Now every time he's feeling
sad and blue He sings this lay:
Second
Verse
Sammy shook the salty sea and settled down,
Built himself a bungalow in Frisco town, He entertains his
friends and neighbors by the score, But poor old Sammy can't
forget Samoa's shore. They say he's fixing up to sail away
Across the silvry foam; Out where he left his lonely heart
one day, He'll make his home.
Chorus
On the silvry sanded shore Of an Island
in Samoa, I left my Luki, Luki Loa, That's why I want to go
back some more To the shore of Samoa; Where the Banyan trees,
as they wig wagged o'er the Southern Seas, They whiser'd "Come
back, come back, sailor boy. You know you left a little broken
toy On the shore of Samoa, in the Sunny South sea Isles".
