Words by Edgar Leslie and
Bernie GrossmanMusic by Archie Gottler Kalmar Puck and Abrahams Consolidated Inc. 1570 Broadway New York City |
First Verse Just after the fray where brave soldiers lay upon the field their comrades came to carry them away, they picked up a note some poor fellow wrote, they read it with a tear dimmed eye 'twas a soldier's last good bye. Second Verse He's only just one a husband or son who knows but what he left before his work on earth was done, but some one may yearn for some one's return and never know just where he went or the message that he sent. Chorus Just an old fashioned letter that lay on the ground it came from a soldier boy's heart before he ever could send it he had to end it "I love you" was all he could start. It was found without an address not even a name, so his message will never be known, only God in His might, know's who waiting tonight for the letter that never reached home.

That's Worth While Waiting For
Year 1919
Words by Sam M. Lewis and Joe YoungMusic by Harry Ruby Waterson, Berlin and Snyder Co. Strand Building 47th Street and Broadway New York City |
First Verse I know a boy who is crazy about; a certain pet; it's two years since they've met, and he hasn't got her yet. This little girl that he's crazy about; kind o' turned his head, 'Cause when I asked him to describe her; here's what he said: Second Verse Each night he begs for that one little kiss, he's wild about; he'll get that kiss no doubt, if his patience don't wear out. Day after day he keeps telling the boys, what a gal he has, and when he's finished they all holler; "cut out that jazz." Chorus "She's just the kind of a miss that's worth while waiting for she's got the kind of a kiss, that's worth while waiting for; she's always bashful and shy, but when you whisper "good-bye," she puts that 'promising look' in her eye, that's worth while waiting for; she's got that wonderful smile the smile that you adore; she let's you squeeze her awhile, then makes you beg for more; she's got the kind of petting the kind that's worth while getting, and what's worth getting is worth while waiting for.

First Verse Oh dearie must we part, sweetie you will break my heart, now won't you tell me why, you're casting me aside, I know your heart belongs to someone, someone who you think is true, but you'll rue the day, mark what I say, when he'll go back on you. Second Verse I played an honest game, since the day you came my way, and you told me from the start, that I had won your heart, you say someone your love has won, and that he beckons you to come, but that someone you found somewhere, will bring you back to me. Chorus You'll love me dear some day, just as I love you still, your heart some day will be broken, and then you, will wish me near, love was not made for play, to win and cast aside, for your foolish pride you left my side, but you'll love me dear some day.

Chorus Gray morn has come and the sun is ascending but in the robin's song of glad notes, sad notes blending, tell of a longing, and hope never ending echo my heart that is still, Gray Morn CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

I'm Sorry I'll Be Busy All Next Week
Year 1902
Words by John GilroyMusic by Harry Linton Sol Bloom New Zealand Building 37th and Broadway New York City |
First Verse An ebony tinted maid of affectation is loved by a gent of tawny hue, she gave to him a standing invitation, saying "Call and I'll be always in for you." After she had spent most of his money, he said, "Don't leave me in this world alone, could I call to see you once next week, my honey?" this excuse she offered in regretful tone: Second Verse He easily hid from her occupation, till into jail they threw this maiden dear, for counterfeit coins of this great nation, as the money that she took from him was queer. She was tried in court by judge and jury, she thought the tawny gent would come to speak, but he sent this note that drove her in a fury, "Goodbye, my gal, I'm busy all next week." Chorus Monday I'll be busy all the day, Tuesday I'm going far away, Wednesday is the day that I study my French, Thursday is for music, you would in trench,... Friday I must paint a little bit, Saturday in the dentist's chair I'll sit, Sunday is for church, salvation I must seek, I'm sorry, I'll be busy all next week. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
