Alabama Jubilee - American Traditional Folk Song Midi, Sheet Music and Lyrics

Alabama Jubilee
American Traditional Folk Song
George Cobb, 1915, Jack Yellen
Lyrics

Mandolins, violins,
Hear the darkies tunin' up, the fun begins,
Come this way, don't delay,
Better hurry, honey dear, or you'll be missin'
Music sweet, rag-time treat,
Goes right to your head and trickles to your feet,
It's a reminder, a memory finder
Of nights down in old Alabam'.
         Hear that flute, it's a beaut,
And the tunes it's tootin', tootsie, ain't they cute?
Let's begin, it's a sin,
To be missin' all this syncopated music!
Oh, you Jane, once again
Give your legs some exercise to that refrain,
Boy, that's what makes me so dreamy and takes me
Back home to my old Alabam'.

Chorus:
You ought to see deacon Jones
When he rattles the bones,
Old parson Brown foolin' 'roun like a clown,
Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three,
Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep!
Watch yo' step!, watch yo' step!
One legged Joe danced aroun' on his toe,
Threw away his crutch and hollered, "let 'er go!"
Oh, honey, hail! hail! the gang's all here
For an Alabama jubilee

Harrigan - American Traditional Folk Song Midi, Sheet Music and Lyrics

Harrigan
American Traditional Folk Song
George M. Cohan, 1907
Lyrics

Who is the man who will spend
Or will even lend?
Harrigan, that's me!
Who is your friend when you find
That you need a friend?
Harrigan, that's me!
For I'm just as proud of my name you see,
As an emperor, czar or a king, could be
Who is the man helps a man
Ev'ry time he can?
Harrigan, that's me!
         Who is the man never stood
For a gadabout?
Harrigan, that's me!
Who is the man that the town's
Simply mad about?
Harrigan, that's me!
The ladies and babies are fond of me,
I'm fond of them, too, in return you see,
Who is the gent that's deserving
A monument?
Harrigan, that's me!

Chorus:
H a double r i, g a n spells Harrigan
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me,
Divil a man can say a word agin me.
H a double r i, g a n you see,
Is a name that a shame
Never has been connected with
Harrigan, that's me!
