April Showers
Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here is the point you should never miss.
Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know,
(It's raining violets,)
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird,
And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird,
And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here is the point you should never miss.
Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know,
(It's raining violets,)
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird,
And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird,
And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.

My Mammy
Everything is lovely When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But wait until you are further away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:
Mammy, Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best-- Mammy,
I'm comin', Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin', Hope and trust that I'm not late,
oh oh oh Mammy, My little Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles, My Mammy!
Oh oh oh... (SPOKEN) Mammy... My little Mammy.
The sun shines east-- the sun shines west-- I know where-- the sun shines best!
It's my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's! (SUNG)
My little Mammy, My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(SPOKEN) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'-- I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Mammy Mammy!
Don't you know me? I'm your little baby! (SUNG)
I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles,
My Mammy!

Swanee
I've been away from you a long time.
I never thought I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel
Your love is real.
Near you I want to be.
The birds are singing it is song time.
The banjo's strumming soft and low.
I know that you
Yearn for me too.
Swanee, you're calling me.
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee.
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E
My mammy's
Waiting for me,Praying for me
Down by the Swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.
(whistling)
I miss the old folks at home.
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
