19th-century Songwriter Quotes

The life of Liverpool is commerce; it is a city of warehouses and shops.

Katherine Lee Bates

Thomas Haynes Bayly

"Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!"
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching through Georgia.

Henry Clay Work

Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream,
And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream.

All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam,
Oh! darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.

Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

And a balm for every pain,
But the first joys of our heart
Come never back again!

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Is the children's birthplace taken now within the new park wall?

Mammy, Mammy, look at me. Don't you know me? I'm your little baby.

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago my home town.

And joined in love together,
The Thistle, Shamrock, Rose entwine The Maple Leaf forever!

What are the wild waves saying,
Sister, the whole day long,
That ever amid our playing
I hear but their low, lone song?

Joseph Edwards Carpenter
