Ten Little Fingers And Ten Little Toes Year 1921 Words by Harry Pease and Johnny White Music by Ira Schuster and Ed. G. Nelson Leo Feist Inc. Feist Building New York Share this song with friends

First Verse I met a pal from Tennessee, and with a smile he greeted me, for he was feeling happy, mighty snappy, jumping up and down with glee; he got good news from home today, and that's the reason he felt gay, I thought it was simply great, just had to congratulate, when I heard him say: Second Verse He said "I'm leaving town today, I hope and pray there's no delay, I'm going to get my ticket, double quick it, not a thing could make me stay; I long to see my little prize, and look in those baby eyes, just try to imagine me, back home in Tennessee, oh, what paradise: Chorus "I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes, down in Tennessee, waiting there for me, I never had a baby call me "Da-da", how proud I know I'll be, when I hear it calling me, Oh gee! I'll kiss every finger, I'll kiss every toe, at home sweet home I'll linger for they'll need me there I know; although it only weighs ten pounds and just one day old, I wouldn't give it up for all the world and it's gold, for I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes, waiting down in Tennessee for me. Chorus 2 "I've got ten little fingers, and ten little toes, down in Tennessee, waiting there for me, Oh, how I'll hold it, in my arms enfold it, when night time shadows creep, I will lull it fast asleep, and then I'll count every finger, I'll count every toe, close to his side I'll linger for he'll want me there I know, if he looks like his mother what a child he must be, but if he looks like me then he's got my sympathy, for I've got ten little fingers and ten little toes, waiting down in Tennessee for me.

Lyrics Just another waltz beneath the red moon just another kiss before we part let me tell my love beneath the red moon dancing with you sweetheart hold me in your arms, for day is dawning starlight will leave us soon just another waltz before the morning under the red moon while the violins are playing we'll be swaying to and fro and it seems your eyes are saying that you love me, love me so while the music of the cello sings its haunting melody you can watch the red moon mellow and leave the rest to me. Just another waltz beneath the red moon just another kiss before we part let me tell my love beneath the red moon dancing with you, sweetheart hold me in your arms for day is dawning starlight will leave us soon just another waltz before the morning under the red red moon. Under the red red moon. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG

It's Never Too Late To Be Sorry Year 1918 Words by James E. Dempsey Music by Joseph A. Burke A. J. Stasny Music Co. 56 West 45th St. New York, NY. Share this song with friends

First Verse I watched a sweet rose droop and die, for want of rain and wondered why, the rain drops, when at last, they came, could not restore its bloom again, you're like the rose, I'm like the rain, you wanted me and called in vain, perhaps you wondered why I'm here, I've come to say I'm sorry dear, Second Verse I know on God's unerring slate the charge against me must be great and every sinful move I've made is entered as a debt unpaid but in the book we all know of I've found these tender words of love "When tears of sweet contrition flow then scarlet sins are made as snow." Chorus It's never too late to be sorry I'm sorry I taught you to care I wish I could lift from your shoulders the cross I have made you bear I can't mend a heart I have broken there isn't a thing I can do but its never too late to be sorry and God knows I'm for you.
