Moderato. ZEKIEL HOMESPUN'S TRIP TO TOWN. Published by Preston. I'ze a poor coun-try lad, as you see by my dress: That I'ze York-shire, mayhap, you may pretty well guess; My name's Ze - kiel Homespun,-you all know me now; It is lol de rol lol, de rol lol, de rol lol. Were two gentlemen dress'd, to be sure, mortal queer: not the first time I have here made my bow. Tol 'Twas a very fine tragedy, call'd 'Tommy Thumb.' Says one,To the king this petition I'll shew;' To whom the petition was presently shown; So thinks I to myself, an' that's what you're about, WHEN TIME STEALS OUR YEARS AWAY. When Time, who steals our years 8 - way, Shall steal our plea-sures too, The mem'-ry of the past will stay, And half our joys re-new. Then, Chlo-e, when thy beau-ty's flow'r Shall feel the win-try air, Re-mem-brance will re - cal the hour When thon a-lone wert fair. Then talk no more of future gloom, Our joys shall al-ways last, For hope shall brighten days to come, Thou'lt still be young for me. Then fill the bowl! away with gloom! And mem'-ry gild the past. How like this bowl of wine, my fair, Our loving life shall fleet! Tho' tears may sometimes mingle there, Then fill the cup, &c WHEN BLUST'RING WINDS ARE HEARD TO BLOW. Andante. low, When thun-der rat-tles in the sky, And fierce the nim-ble light'-nings fly, WHEN FLOW'RS AGAIN THEIR DAY-LIGHT BLOOM. Grazioso. When flow'rs a-gain their day-light bloom, Close in dew-y sleep; When moon-light shows the dis-tant dome, Glanc-ing o'er the deep; When scarce is heard the ev'- ning fann'd it o'er: Then Love will row my bark a-long, O'er the star-ry sea; DANCE, BOATMAN, DANCE. As sung by Henry Russell.-Published in Davidson's cheap and uniform Edition of his Compositions. Re row, a - way we go, Go-ing down de river on de Ohio! Alleghany mountains terrible high,-get at de top you touch de sky; Merry 'neath dere shadow, sitting on a log, boatman sing and drink him grog. Drink, boatman, drink,-drink, boatman, drink; Drink all night wid a heart so light, But take care ob your head in de mornin'. Boatman sing, boatman drink,-daylight dawn, starlight wink. Re row, away we go, &c. Boatman he's de lady's man,-none can make lub as de boatman can; I neber saw a pretty gal in all my life, but she was nick'd for de boatman's wife. Court, boatman, court,-court, boatman, court; We court all night by de glow-worm's light, And are off to de church in de mornin'. Boatman court, boatman tink, boatman dance, boatman drink. Re row, away we go, &c. In de log-hut Rosa stay,-tink ob her boatman far away; Piccanninies play about de floor,-p'raps ten or twelve on 'em, p'raps many more. Lub, Rosa, life,-lub boatman's wife; Dream, young bride, him by your side, And weep when you wake in de mornin'. Boatman brave, boatman true; boatman got no lub but you. Re row, away we go, &c. |
