Stephen Collins Foster piosenki

1. [SOPRANO] Thou hast roam'd under summer skies whilst I have weather'd the storm, [TENOR] I have pray'd that the angels fair would shield thy pillow from harm. [SOPRANO] But thou wert gone and none this soul from sadness could awaken. [REFRAIN] [SOPRANO] Mi...

1. Molly dear, I cannot linger; Let me soon be gone. Time now points with warning finger T'wards the coming dawn. When the noisy weary day Shall have toiled its cares away, To thy side again I'll stray; Then Molly dear, good-night! 2. Smile away the coming mo...

1. Molly do you love me? Can the morning beam Love a lowly flowret Living in its gleam? Let one gentle whisper All my doubts destroy -- Let my dreamy rapture Turn to waking joy. Molly do you love me? Tell me, tell me true! Molly do you love me, Love as I love...

1. Mother, dear mother, 'tis sweet to know, In stemming the current through life's ebb and flow, Though heartless and fickle all else may be, Thou'rt ever, ever faithful to me. When hopes are dethroned and pleasures depart, When sickness or care o'er-shadows m...

1. My angel boy, thou'rt nearing fast The end of thy brief race; Already death's dark wing hath cast Its shadow o'er thy face. Must thy ethereal spirit seek So soon its native sky? Still paler grows thy beauteous cheek-- I cannot se thee die, My angel boy, my...

1. White folks, I'll sing for you, Nuffin else to do, Spend my time a pickin' on de banjo! Hey! Brudder Gum. CHORUS My Brudder Gum, My Brudder Gum so fair, All da yaller galls runin' round, Try to get a lock ob his hair. 2. Hard work all de day, Hab no time...

1. My hopes have departed forever, My vision of true love is o'er; My heart shall awaken, ah! never; There's joy for my bosom no more. The roses that crowned me are blighted, The garland I cherished is dead, The faith once confidingly plighted Is broke, and my...

Bloom bright fair flowers around the white stone Where sleepeth my Eva, my loved one and my own, Who departed in sadness and left me a lone Sweet Eva, my loved one my own. 

1. The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay, The corn top's ripe and the meadows in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy and bright: By'n...

1. We parted in the spring time of life, Nell and I, With all our gushing joys in bloom, But now we've met the worlds busy strife, Nell and I, And suffered from its dark chilling gloom. Yet my heart will sigh For those days gone by, That flow in my mem'ry's sw...

1. Nelly Bly! Nelly Bly! Bring de broom along, We'll sweep de kitchen clean, my dear, And hab a little song. Poke de wood, my lady lub, And make de fire burn, And while I take de banjo down, Just gib de mush a turn. CHORUS Heigh! Nelly, Ho! Nelly, listen lub,...

1. Down on de Mississippi floating, Long time I trabble on de way, All night de cottonwood a toting, Sing for my true-lub all de day. CHORUS Nelly was a lady, Last night she died, Toll de bell for lubly Nell, My dark Viginny bride. 2. Now I'm unhappy and I'm...

1. No home! no home on my weary way I seek, When laden with grief and care, No voice of love that one gentle word will speak, No lips that will breathe for me a prayer; I wander alone o'er the wide, wide world, In sorrow where'er I roam; But ah! while thro' al...

1. My life is like the summer rose That opens to the morning sky, But, e'er the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground to die; Yet on the rose's humble head The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if they wept the waste to see, But none shall weep...

1. Oh! carry my 'long; Der's no more trouble for me; I's guine to roam In a happy home Where all de niggas am free. I've worked long in de fields; I've handled many a hoe; I'll turn my eye, Before I die, And see de sugarcane grow. CHORUS 2 times Oh! boys, car...

1. Oh! Lemuel my lark, Oh Lemuel my beau, I's guine to gib a ball to night, I'd hab you for to know; But if you want to dance, Just dance outside de door; Becayse your feet so berry large Dey'll cover all de floor. Oh! Lem! Lem! Lem! Lemuel I say! Go down to d...

1. I come from Alabama With my Banjo on my knee-- I's g'wine to Lou'siana, My true lub for to see, It rain'd all night de day I left, De wedder it was dry; The sun so hot I froze to def-- Susanna, dont you cry. CHORUS Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me, I come fr...

1. Tell me, tell me, gently lady, Many things I'd love to know, Of my dear and tender mother, Who departed long ago. While she moved among the living Were the days all bright and fair? Did she dwell in happy sunlight Or in dark clouds of care? Was she beautifu...

1. Oh, there's no such girl as mine, In all this wide world 'round, With her hair of gold so fine, And her voice of silver sound; Her eyes are as black as the sloe, Her lips in a smile combine, Her breath us as pure as the snow: There's no such girl as mine....

1. Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay, Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away, Gone from the eath to a better land I know, I hear their gentle voices calling "Old Black Joe." CHORUS I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head is bending low; I...
