There Is A Tavern In The Town - American Folk Song (Midi, Piano Sheet Music)

There Is A Tavern In The Town
F. J. Adams, 1891
Lyrics

There is a tavern in the town, in the town,
And there my dear love sits him down, sits him down,
And drinks his wine 'mid laughter free,
And never, never thinks of me.

Chorus:
Fare thee well, for I must leave thee,
Do not let the parting grieve thee,
And remember that the best of friends must part, must part
Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu, adieu, adieu,
I can no longer stay with you, stay with you,
I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree,
And may the world go well with thee.

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark,
Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark,
And now my love once true to me,
Takes that dark damsel on his knee.
Chorus:

Oh! dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep,
Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet,
And on my breast carve a turtle dove,
To signify I died of love.
Chorus:

In The Good Old Summertime - American Folk Song (Midi, Piano Sheet Music and Lyrics)

In The Good Old Summertime
by George Evans, 1902
Lyrics

There's a time in each year
That we always hold dear,
Good old summer time;
With the birds and the treeses
And sweet scented breezes,
Good old summer time,

When your day's work is over
Then you are in clover,
And life is one beautiful rhyme,
No trouble annoying,
Each one is enjoying,
The good old summer time.

To swim in the pool,
You'd play "hooky" from school,
Good old summer time;
You'd play "ringarosie"
With jim, kate and josie,
Good old summer time,

Those days full of pleasure
We now fondly treasure,
When we never thought it a crime,
To go stealing cherries,
With face brown as berries,
Good old summer time.

Chorus:
In the good old summertime,
In the good old summertime,
Strolling through the shady lanes
With your baby mine.
You hold her hand
And she holds yours,
And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsy wootsy
In the good old summertime.

Uncle Ned - American Folk Song (Midi, Piano Sheet Music and Lyrics)

Uncle Ned
Stephen C. Foster, 1848
Lyrics

There was an old nigger,
And his name was Uncle Ned,
But he's dead long ago, long ago;
He had no wool on the top of his head,
In de place where de wool ought to grow.

Refrain:
Den lay down de shubble an' de hoe, de hoe,
Hang up de fiddle an' de bow.
Dere's no more hard work for poor old Ned,
He's gone whar de good niggers go.
Dere's no more hard work for poor old Ned,
He's gone whar de good niggers go.

His fingers were long
As the cane in de brake,
He had no eyes for to see;
He had no teeth for to eat the corn cake,
So he had to let the corn cake be.
Refrain:

When old Ned die
Massa take it mighty hard,
De tears run down like the rain;
Old Missus turn pale, an' she get berry sad,
Cayse she nebber see old Ned again.
Refrain:

War einst ein alter Neger,
Genannt der Onkel Ned,
Daß er starb, das ist lange schon her,
Mit Freuden sagte der Welt er Valet,
Denn der Ruhe bedurfte er sehr.
Refrain:

Legt d'rum die Spaten aus der Hand!
Hängt eure Fiedeln an die Wand!
Denkt zurück an den alten Ned,
Der längst seine Ruhe schon fand!
Denkt zurück an den alten Ned,
Der längst seine Ruhe schon fand!

Der Alte Ned hatte
Kein Haar auf dem Kopf,
Seine Wolle, die fehlte ihm sehr,
Es hatt' keine Zähne der arme alte Tropf
Und das Beißen, das fiel ihm d'rum schwer.
Refrain:

Der Tod Onkel Neds
Der bereitete Schmerz
Seinem Herrn, denn er trauerte tief.
Seiner Herrin ging's wie ein Stich durch das Herz,
Aus den Augen manch' Thränlein ihr lief.
