Stephen Collins Foster piosenki

1. I'll be a soldier and march to the drum, And lie in my tent when the night shadows come; I'll be a soldier with knapsack and gun, And stand to my post 'till the din of battle's done. CHORUS Farewell! my own loved Jenny dear, Still will I dream of thee wher...

1. I've wander'd far from those I love, and many years have pass'd, Since in my dear old cheris'd home I saw their faces last; But now I am returning and my journey soon will end, I'll join the throng where happy smiles and gentle voices blend. CHORUS Farewel...

1. I'm nothing but a plain old soldier, And old revolutionary soldier, But I've handled a gun Where nobles deals were done, For the name of my commander wasd George Washington. My home and my country to me were dear, And I fought for both when the foe came nea...

1. In the eye abides the heart, Every pure and tender feeling, All emotions worth revealing, Through the eyes their charm impart. Words are often clothed in guile; For the lips with fear may falter; E'en confiding smiles may alter-- Oh! believe not in a smile!...

1. I dream of Jeanie with the light hair, Borne, like a vapor on the summer air, I see her tripping where the bright streams play, Happy as thedaisies that dance on her way. Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour. Many were the blithe birds that w...

1. Jenny's coming o'er the green, Fairer form was never seen, Winning is her gentle mien;-- Why do I love her so? We have wandered side by side O'er the meadows far and wide; Little Jenny's full of pride,-- Why do I love her so? 2. Jenny's calm and liquid eye...

1. Why has thy merry face Gone from my side, Leaving each cherished place Cheerless and void! Why has the happy dream, Blended with thee, Passed like a flitting beam, Sweet Laura Lee? Why has the happy dream, Blended with thee, Passed like a flitting beam, Swe...

1. While in their sunny bowers, Sweet birds rejoice, Mingling with budding flowers, Loves gentle voice, Grief, to thy memory Tuneth a lay, Lovely departed one, Sweet Lily Ray -- Lovely departed one, Sweet Lily Ray. 2. When slumber's dreamy light O're me is th...

1. Death with his cold hand, Hath robbed me of ev'ry hope, Hath robbed me of ev'ry hope -- My loved one is gone, Bleak was the moment, That parted our beating hearts, That parted our beating hearts, And left me alone. Sweet was the low voice, That wrapt me in...

1. Linger in blissful repose, Free from all sorrowing care love, While round thee melody flows, Wafted on pinions of air love. Let not thy visions depart, Lured by the stars that are beaming, Music will flow from my heart While thy sweet spirit is dreaming. Dr...

1. We have made a grave for little Belle Blair, In the fields beyond the town, In the world she lived without a passing care, And her brow was ever from a frown. CHORUS Happy as the live long day she, And flowing was her dark glossy hair, We will hear no more...

1. Little Ella, fairest, dearest Unto me and unto mine, Earthly cherub coming nearest To my dreams of forms divine; Her brief absence frets and pains me, Her bright presence so lace brings, Her spontaneous love restrains me From a thousand and selfish things....

1. 'Twas hard, our parting, mother dear, It gave you untold pain; But hope was strong within our hearts That we should meet again; There's health upon my cheek once more, And in my eye new light, 'Twill all be quench'd in ocean's gloom, For Lizzie dies to-nigh...

1. With a heart forsaken I wander In silence, in grief and a lone, On a form departed I ponder, For Lula, sweet Lula is gone. Gone when the roses have faded, Gone when the meadows are bare To a land by orange blossoms shaded Where summer ever lingers on the ai...

1. The land of my home is flitting, Flitting from my view; A gale in the sails is sitting, Toils the merry crew. Here let my home be, On the water wide: I roam with a proud heart; Maggie's by my side; My own love, Maggie dear, Sitting by my side Maggie dear, m...

1. Mary loves the flowers! Ah! how happy they! E'en their darkest hours, To me were bright, bright summer day. Receiving all her kisses, Inhaling ev'ry sigh, Ever fondlybending Toward the radiance of her eye, The lily and the morning glory, Can they, can they...
