Stephen Collins Foster piosenki

1. The morn of life is past, And evening comes at last; It brings me a dream of a once happy day, Of merry forms I've seen Upon the village green, Sporting with my old dog Tray. CHORUS Old dog Tray's ever faithful, Grief cannot drive him away, He's gentle, he...

1. Way down upon de Swanee ribber, Far, far away, Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber, Dere's wha de old folks stay. All up down de whole creation, Sadly I roam, Still longing for de old plantation, And for de old folks at home. CHORUS 2 x All de world am sa...

1. Fondly old memories Recall round my heart Scenes of my early joys That never depart. Warmed in their sunny rays, Hopes brightly burn; Say not those happy days Can never return! Say not those happy days Can never return! 2. Voices of tenderness And eyes eve...

1. Once I loved thee, Mary dear, O how truly! As the dewdrop bright and clear, Born but newly, Sparkling in the solar rays, To the rosebud's beauty, pays Tribute duly, Tribute duly. Once I love thee Mary dear, O how truly! Once I love thee Mary dear, O how tru...

1. Open thy lattice, love listen to me! The cool balmy breeze is abroad on the sea! The moon like a queen, roams here realms of blue, And the stars keep their vigils in heaven for you Ere morn's gushing light tips the hills with its ray, Away o'er the waters a...

1. I remember the days of our your and love, When we sat neath the green oak tree; When thy smiles were bright as the skies above, And the voice made music unto me. CHORUS Never more will come those happy, happy hours, Whiled away in life's young dawn; Never...

1. Our Willie, dear, is dying, love, And thou art far away; His little breath is sighing, love, And cannot last till day. To night while sitting by his side I heard him speak of thee -- My father's coming home, he said, with presents bright for me; My father's...

1. Deal with me kindly, Cheer my young heart, I'll follow thee blindly wherever thoug art, Deep in the mountain Far from home I'll follow thy path wherever thou'lt roam. Thy way shall still be mine My heart shall still be thine -- Deal with me kindly, Cheer my...

1. Poor drooping maiden maiden sighing on a bright bright summer's day Alone in sorrow all day long, Thine eyes from light, thine ears from song; Why are thy frail hands toiling the hours away? Found in a dreary home, Round to a weary doom Why are thy frail ha...

1. De time is nebber dreary If de darkey nebber groans; De ladies nebber weary Wid de rattle ob de bones: Den come again Susanna By de gaslight ob de moon; We'll tum de old Piano When de banjo's out ob tune. CHORUS 2 times Ring, ring de banjo! I like dat good...

1. Sadly to mine heart appealing, Sadly sadly well-a-day Requiem like in murmurs stealing Comes that old familiar lay Wherefore not the wonted pleasure From the antique music spring? Why that well remembered measure Grieving thoughts and anquish bring? Sadly s...

1. Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near, Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear, Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone, Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on. Sweet visions attend thy sleep, Fondest, dearest to me, While others their reve...

1. Some folks like to sigh, Some folks do, some folks do; Some folks long to die,-- But that's not me nor you. CHORUS Long live the merry merry heart That laughs by night and day, Like the Queen of Mirth, -- No matter what some folks say. 2. Some folks fear...

1. Summer breath, Summer breath, whispering low, Wand'ring in darkness, where would'st thou go? Wilt thou not linger and perfume the night, With the fragrance thou'st gather'd in regions of light? Dost sigh for the rose, would'st thou visit her bower, Or spor...

1. Ah! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May -- Waiting for the pleasant rumbles, Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, With the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy way. Ah! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May. 2. Ah! my heart is sick wit...

1. Roaming with thee I am happy and free, Dreaming of thee fills my heart full of glee, Longing for thee brings a sad memory, Sweet little maid of the mountain. Why do I grieve when I'm left alone? Why do I sigh when thou art gone? We will meet when the night...

1. Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair, Her cheek on the pillow pressed, Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair, Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast. Hush! let her sleep! I pray, sweet breeze, -- Breathe low on the maple bough! Hush! bright bird, on her win...

1. We live in hard and stirring times, Too sad for mirth, too rough for rhymes; For songs of peace have lost their chimes, And that's what's the matter! The men are held as brothers true, Have turn'd into a rebel crew; So now we have to put them thro', And tha...

1. De Glendy Burk is mighty fast boat, Wid a mighty fast captain too; He sits up dah on de hurricane roof And he keeps his eye on de crew. I cant stay here, for dey work too hard; I'm bound to leave dis town; I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back When de G...

1. On the Seventeeth day of September, you know, Took place in our city the great baby show; They shut up the factories and let out the schools, For the Seventeeth day was the day of all fools. CHORUS Sing tu ral lal lu ral lallu ral lal lay, Sing tu ral lal...
