First Verse Summer was blooming, old times were looming, while I closed my eyes; Scenes I love dearly, came back so clearly, under summer skies, Stars were a gleaming, I was just dreaming, Dreaming, dear of you, Back to the time when you became mine, Just a memory. Second Verse Life was a pleasure each day a treasure, that I foundly praise, Thoughts of the morrow, never brought sorrow, in those good old days, Back to our childhood, back thro' the wild wood, My thoughts seem to fly, What can compare with those days so rare, Days that never die. Chorus When the old oaken bucket was new, That's the first time I made love to you, You turned your head, but you heard all I said, As we sat by the well just we two, We both vowed that our hearts love would flow Just as long as the water below, Life is sweet yet, but I'll never forget, When the old oaken bucket was new.

First Verse Hello, there, stranger! how do you do? There's something I'd like to say to you Don't be surprised You're recognized! I'm no detective but I've just surmised. You're from the place where I long to be, Your smiling face seems to say to me, You're from my own land, My sunny homeland, Tell me can it be? Second Verse It was a way back in eighty nine, I crossed the old Mason Dixon line Gee! but I've yearned, Longed to return To all the good old pals I left behind. My home is way down in Alabam' On a plantation near Birmingham, And one thing's certain, I'm surely flirtin' With those southbound trains: Chorus Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie! Where the fields of cotton beckon to me. I'm glad to see you, Tell me how be you And the friends I'm longing to see. If you're from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline Any place below the Mason Dixon line Then you're from Dixie, Hurrary for Dixie! 'Cause I'm from Dixie too! CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

First Verse Said Sammie to Annie, "close up the pianie, let's go thro' the park for a stroll," But Annie told Sammie "You're off your nanny, that park proposition is old." Said he, "I know somewhere, There's nothing but fun there, It's Coney, we went there before;" Then Annie grab'd Sammie, said "That will be dandy, I'm dying to go there once more." Second Verse Said Sammie, "I'm going, we've seen all worth showing," but Annie just clung to his arm; "I've spent all my money, So don't be a dummy, and act like you just left the farm" But Annie just pouted, "Get tickets," they shouted, and Sam look'd at Annie and sigh'd; "My bank roll's a quarter, and if it gets shorter, We'll have to walk back," he replied. Chorus "Take me all around again, 'round again, 'round again, What's the odds how much we spend, Pa's rich and Ma don't care; Let's go down the chutes again, off again, on again; Refuse me, you'll lose me, Come on and amuse me, And take me around again.

First Verse Lindy Lou and Jasper in the fields of sugar cane, Down in Loosiana, Jasper was so love sick, that his heart was filled with pain For his Lindy Lou. When the sun was shining bright, He'd make love with all his might, Lindy'd say: "You're acting like a loon, Don't come fussin' 'round at noon, Nighttime is the time to spoon, Underneath the sugar moon." Second Verse Jasper says to Lindy: "Won't you be my lovin' bride?" Sugar moon am shinin', Lindy says "Uh huh", and cuddles closer to his side, Wedding mighty soon. Gwine to have a barbecue, Gwine to roast an ox or two, Possum pie 'simmon jam and coon. Can't you hear the banjos ring, Can't you hear Miss Lindy sing, Underneath the sugar moon? Chorus When the sugar moon am moonin,' You can spoon and keep on spoonin,' Croon a tune and keep on croonin' When you croon, croon a tune, that a coon can croon in June. For I love to hear you hummin', And I dearly love to spoon; But my lovin' coon, turtle dovin' coon, Underneath the sugar moon. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

First Verse Sweetheart, I've been dreaming of a by gone day When you said you loved me so; Silv'ry stars are gleaming just to light my way, Seems they know that I want to go Second Verse Underneath the willow 'neath a sky of blue, While the moonlight softly beams, I will make my pillow while I dream of you, Once again I will stroll in dreams Chorus Back to Sleepy Hollow, Sleepy Hollow, Where I first met you, I'll dream again, all the dream we knew, I'll dream again dear, of your sweet eyes of blue. In the shadows falling you are calling As you used to do, While the mem'ries follow "Sleepy Hollow" Where I first met you. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

First Verse Two hours ride old Broadway There is a sleepy town, they say; "Old Philadelphia," You opened my eyes And I apologize. Second Verse Old William Penn, please pardon me, One of your sons I want to be You love your quakers, And I love one too That's why I'm strong for you. Chorus There's a quaker down in Quaker town, When I am around she sighs But down in her heart, I know, She's not so slow, For oh, oh, oh, oh! Those eyes! Like the waters still she's very deep She knows a heap, I found, She has that "Meet me later" look, And oh, she knows her book, This little Quaker down in Quaker town. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
