Page |5 A banjo player, even with a limited knowledge of chords, is in the enviable position to be able to lead informal sing-a-longs in retirement homes, rest homes and hospitals, etc. The pleasure, joy and healing atmosphere that is created with this kind of a function is hard to describe. It needs to be experienced and only then will one understand the joy that it creates for the audience and for the performer.

Alabamy Bound
I'm Al-a-bam-y bound There'll be no "Hee-bie Jee-bies" hang-in' round, Just gave the mean-est tick-et man on earth All I'm worth to put my toot-sies in an up-per berth Just hear that choo-choo sound I know that soon we're goin' to cov-er ground And then I'll hol-ler so the world will know "Here I go" I'm Al-a-bam-y bound. I'm Al-a-bam-y bound There'll be no "Hee-bie Jee-bies" hang-in' round, Just gave the mean-est tick-et man on earth All I'm worth to put my toot-sies in an up-per berth I'm just a luck-y hound To have some-one to put my arms a-round That's why I'm shout-in' for the world to know "Here I go!" I'm Al-a-bam-y bound.
Alabama Jubilee
You ought to see Dea-con Jones When he rat-tles the bones, Old Colo-nal Brown fool-in' 'roun like a clown, Miss Vir-gin-ia who is past eight-y three, Shout-in' "I'm full o' pep! Watch yo' step!, watch yo' step! One leg-ged Joe danced a-roun' on his toe, Threw a-way his crutch and hol-lered, "let 'er go!" Oh, hon-ey, hail! hail! the gang's all here For an Al-a-ba-ma jub-i-lee.

Always
I'll be lov-ing you al-ways with a love that's true, al-ways When the things you've planned need my help-ing hand, I will un-der-stand, al-ways, al-ways Days may not be fair, al-ways That's when I'll be there, al-ways Not for just an hour, Not for just a day, Not for just a year, but al-ways.
Am-a-pol-a, my pret-ty lit-tle pop-py, You're like that love-ly flow-er, so sweet and heav-en-ly. Since I found you, my heart is wrapped a-round you, And lov-ing you, it seems to beat a rhap-so-dy. Am-a-pol-a, the pret-ty lit-tle pop-py, Must cop-y it's en-dear-ing charms from you. Am-a-pol-a, Am-a-pol-a, How I long to hear you say, "I love you."

Angry
An-gry, please don't be an-gry, 'Cause I was only teas-in' you! I would-n't e-ven let you think of leav-in' Don't you know I love you true? Just be-cause I took a look at some-bod-y else, That's no rea-son you should put poor me on the shelf! An-gry, please don't be an-gry, 'Cause I was on-ly teas-in' you! Some bod-y's ly-in' if they say I'm try-in' To step a-round with some-one new. Don't be-lieve a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see, Then you'll find no rea-son to be jeal-ous of me! An-gry, please don't be an-gry, 'Cause I was on-ly teas-ing you!
Any Time
An - y time you're feel-ing lone-ly, Any time you're feel-ing blue, Any time you feel down-heart-ed, That will prove your love for me is true. An - y time you're think-ing 'bout me, That's the time I'll be think-ing of you. So an-y time you say you want me back a-gain, That's the time I'll come back home to you.
April Showers
Though A-pril show-ers may come your way, They bring the flow-ers that bloom in May, So if it's rain-ing, have no re-grets, Be-cause it isn't rain-ing rain, you know, It's rain-ing vi-o-lets. And where you see clouds upon the hills, You soon will see crowds of daf-fo-dils. So keep on look-ing for a blue bird, And list'ning for his song, When-ev-er A-pril show-ers come a-long.

At Sundown
Every little breeze is sigh-ing of love un-dy-ing at sun-down, Every little bird is rest-ing and feath-er nest-ing at sun-down. Each lit-tle rose-bud is sleep-ing, While sha-dows are creep-ing, In a little cot-tage co-zy the world seems ro-sy at sun-down Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sun-down I seem to sigh, I'm in heav-en, When night is fal-ling and love is cal-ling me home.
Avalon
I found my love in Av-a-lon, I left my love in Av-alon I dream of her and Av-a-lon And so I think I'll trav-el on Be - side the bay; And sailed a - way. From dusk til dawn, To Av a - lon.
Baby Face
Ba-by Face, you've got the cut-est lit-tle ba-by face There's not an-oth-er one could take your place, Ba-by face. My poor heart is jump-in -- You sure have start-ed some-thin'. Ba-by face, I'm up in heav-en when I'm in your fond em-brace I didn't need a shove cause I just fell in love With your pret-ty ba-by face.
Back home a-gain in In-di-an-a, And it seems that I can see The gleam-ing can-dle light, still shin-ing bright, Through the syc-a-mores for me. The new-mown hay sends all its fra-grance From the fields I used to roam. When I dream a-bout the moon-light on the Wa-bash Then I long for my In-di-an-a home.

Bill Bailey
Won't you come home, Bill Bail-ey, won't you come home? She moanes the whole night long. I'll do the cook-in', hon-ey, I'll pay the rent I know I've done you wrong. Re-mem-ber that rain-y eve-nin' I drove you out....with noth-in' but a fine tooth comb I know I'm to blame, now... ain't that a shame Bill Bail-ey, won't you please come home. Won't you come home, Bill Bail-ey, won't you come home? She moanes that whole night long. I'll do the cook-in' hon-ey, I'll pay the rent I know, I've done you wrong. Re-mem-ber that rain-y eve-nin' I drove you out, with noth-in' but a fine tooth comb I know I'm to blame, now... ain't that a shame I said now, Bill Bail-ey, won't you please... come on home.

Blue Skies
Blue skies smil-ing at me, Noth-ing but blue skies do I see. Blue-birds sing-in' a song, Noth-ing but blue birds all day long. Bridge: Nev-er saw the sun shin-ing so bright, Nev-er saw things going so right. No-tic-ing the days hur-ry-ing by, When you're in love, my, my, how they fly. Blue days, all of them gone -Noth-ing but blue skies from now on.

Bye-Bye Blues
Bye bye blues, bye bye blues; Bells ring, birds sing, Sun is shi-ning, no more pi-ning, Just we two smi-ling through; Don't sigh, don't cry, Bye bye blues.

As I came down the Bow-ery One eve-ning in Ju-ly, I met a maid who asked my trade, And a sail-or John said I, Chorus: To me a-weigh, you San-ty, My dear An-nie, Oh, you New York girls, Can't you dance the pol-ka? To Tif-fan-y's I took her; I did not mind ex-pense. I bought her two gold ear-rings, They cost me fif-teen cents. Chorus: She said, "If you're a sail-or, Now take me home you may," But when I reached her cot-tage door She un-to me did say: Chorus: "My young man he's a sail-or, With his hair cut short be-hind; My young man he's a sail-or, And he sails the Black Ball line." Chorus:

Charleston
Charles-ton, Charles-ton! Made in Car-o-lin-a, Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's noth-ing fin-er Than the Charles-ton, Charles-ton, Lord, how you can shuf-fle, Ev-'ry step you do, Leads to some-thing new Man I'm tel-ling you, It's a la-pa-zoo. Buck dance, wing dance, Will be a back num-ber But the Charles-ton, The new Charles-ton That dance is sure-ly a com-er. Some-time, You'll dance it one time That dance called the Charles-ton Made in South Car-o-line.

Chinatown, My Chinatown
Chi-na-town, my Chi-na-town, Where the lights are low; Hearts that no no oth-er land Drift-ing to and fro. Dream-y, dream-y Chi-na-town, Al-mond eyes of brown; Hearts seem light and life seems bright in In dream-y Chi-na-town.

love, a gen-tle sweet re-frain; sound like soft-ly fall-ing rain. we'll plan a hon-eymoon, a Sun-day af-ter-noon.
'Deed I Do
Do I want you? Oh Hon-ey, deed I do! Do I need you? Oh Hon-ey, deed I do! my! Do my! Do I! I!
Bridge: I'm glad that I'm the one who found you, That's why I'm al-ways hang-in' a-round you. Do I love you? Oh my! Do I! Hon-ey, deed I do!

Dinah
Di-nah, is there an-y-one fin-er In the state of Car-o-li-na? If there is and you know her, show her to me. Di-nah, with her Dix-ie eyes blaz-in' How I love to sit and gaze in To the eyes of Di-nah Lee. Bridge: Ev'-ry night, why do I shake with fright? Be-cause my Di-nah might change her mind a-bout me. Di-nah, if she wan-der'd to Chi-na, I would hop an o-cean li-ner Just to be with Di-nah Lee!

Dixie
O, I wish I was in the land of cot-ton Old times there are not for-got-ten Look a-way! Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie Land. In Dix-ie Land where I was born in Ear-ly on one frost-y morn-in' Look a-way! Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie Land. Chorus: O, I wish I was in Dix-ie! Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dix-ie Land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dix-ie A-way, a-way, A-way down south in Dix-ie! A-way, a-way, A-way down south in Dix-ie!
You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, But don't bring Lu-lu! You can bring Rose with the turned-up nose, But don't bring Lu-lu! Lu-lu always wants to do What the folks don't want her to. When she struts her stuff a-round, Lon-don bridge is fal-ling down! You can bring cake or a por-ter-house steak, But don't bring Lu-lu! Lu-lu gets blue and goes cuck-oo Like the clock up-on the shelf. She's the kind of smart-y breaks up every part-y, Hull-a-ba-loo loo, don't bring Lu-lu, I'll bring her my-self!
Please play for me that sweet mel-o-dy Called doo-dle doo doo-dle doo I like the rest but what I like best is doo-dle doo doo-dle doo Sim-pl-est thing, there's noth-ing much to it Don't have to sing, you just doo-dle-doo it I love it so, wher-ev-er I go I doo-dle, doo-dle doo.

Down Yonder
Down yon-der, some-one beck-ons to me, Down yon-der, some-one reck-ons on me. I seem to see a race in mem-o-ry Be-tween the Nat-chez and the Rob-ert E. Lee. Swan-ee shore, I miss you more and more; Ev-'ry day, my mam-my land, you're simp-ly grand Down yon-der, when the folks get the news, Don't won-der at the hul-la-ba-loo. There's Dad-dy and Mam-my, there's Eph-ra'm and Sam-my, Wait-in' down yon-der for me.

Erie Canal
I've got a mule, and her name is Sal, Fif-teen miles on the Er-ie canal, She's a good ol' work-er and a good ol' pal, Fif-teen miles on the Er-ie can-al, We've hauled some barges in our day, Filled with lum-ber coal and hay, And we know ev'ry inch of the way From Al-ba-ny to Buff-a-lo. OH Chorus: Low bridge ev'-ry bod-y down, Low bridge for we're com-in to a town, And you al-ways know your neigh-bor, You'll al-ways know your pal, If you've ev-er nav-i-gat-ed on the Er-ie can-al. We bet-ter Look 'round for a job, old gal, Fif-teen miles on the Er-ie canal, You bet your life I'd nev-er part with Sal, Fif-teen miles on the Er-ie canal, Git up there, gal, we've passed that lock, We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock. So one more trip and back we'll go Right back home to Buff-a-lo. OH Chorus: Low bridge ev'-ry bod-y down, Low bridge for we're com-in to a town, And you al-ways know your neigh-bor, You'll al-ways know your pal, If you've ev-er nav-i-gat-ed on the Er-ie can-al.

Goodnight Sweetheart
Good night sweet-heart, Till we meet to-mor-row, Good night sweet-heart, Sleep will ban-ish sor-row. Tears and part-ing May make us for-lorn, But with the dawn A new day is born, So I'll say Good night, sweet-heart, Tho' I'm not be-side you, Good night, sweet-heart, Still my love will guide you Dreams en-fold you, In each one I'll hold you, Good night, sweet-heart, good night.

You'll see a smil-ing face, a fire-place, a co-zy room, A lit-tle nest that nes-tles where the ro-ses bloom; Just Mol-ly and me, and ba-by makes three, We're hap-py in my Blue Heav-en. As soon as I'm thru'; Strum-ming, croon-ing for you; I hur-ry to my Blue Heav-en. It's fun to play here, I love to bring cheer; But give me my own Blue Heav-en. Why there's the swing-ing gate,the lit-tle walk,the o-pen door; And right in-side is just what I've been pray-ing for. We're the happi-est three, Mol-ly, baby and me; We're peace-ful in my Blue Heav-en.
My Gal Sal

My wild I-rish Rose, the sweet-est flower that grows. You may search ev-'ry where, but none can com-pare, with my wild I-rish Rose. My wild I-rish Rose, the dear-est flow'r that grows, And some day for my sake, she may let me take, the bloom from my wild I-rish Rose.

Near You
There's just one place for me, near you. It's like heav-en to be, near you. Times when we're a-part, I can't face my heart. Say you'll nev-er stray, More than just two lips a-way. If my hours could be spent near you. I'd be more than con-tent near you. Make my life worth-while, By tel-ling me that I'll, Spend the rest of my days near you. Yes, the rest of my days near you.

Ev-er-y heart beats true, for the Red,White,and Blue, Where there's nev-er a boast or brag; But, should auld ac-quain-tance be for-got, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
