I'm Wearing My Heart Away For You

Letra y Música: Chas. K. Harris

(Chas. K. Harris, New York, 1902)

Letra:

I wonder where you are tonight, my love,

As all alone I sit and dream.

I wonder  if your heart´s with me tonight,

And if the same stars for you gleam.

I sometimes fear there is another, love,

Some fairer face has won your heart;

But Ah, I hope the day will never come,

The day that we two must live apart.

Chorus

I´m wearing my heart away for you,

It cries aloud, "My love be true".

I dream of you by night,

I long for you by day,

I´m wearing my heart away for you.

Sammy

Letra: James O´Dea; Música: Edward Hutchison

(Sol Bloom, New York, 1902)

Letra:

Did you ever meet the fellow fine and dandy,

Who can readily dispel your ills and woes?

Did you meet the boy who´s all the candy

Where´er he goes?

That´s the very sort of fellow I´m in love with,

He is all the daffodils of early spring,

And to me the finest bliss is

Just to revel in his kisses

When to him I sing:

Chorus

Sammy, oh, oh, oh, Sammy, 

For you I´m pining when we´re apart;

Sammy, when you come wooing

There´s something doing around my heart.

Sammy, oh, oh, oh, Sammy,

Can´t live without you, my dream of joy;

Tell me, oh, oh, oh, tell me, 

You´re only mine, my Sammy boy, boy

Anona

Letra y Música Mabel McKinley, as Vivian Grey

(Leo Feist, New York, 1903)

Escrita supuestamente por Mabel McKinley, sobrina de William McKinley, con el pseudónimo de Vivian Gray, en realidad es un tema compuesto por el prolífico Robert Keizer King (1862-1932), que solía utilizar sobrenombres femeninos como el de Mary Earl, o Betty Chapin, entre otros.

Letra:

In the western state of Arizona,

Lived an Indian maid;

She was called the beautiful Anona so 'tis said.

Graceful as a fawn was she,

Just as sweet as she could be,

Eyes so bright, dark as night,

Had this pretty little Arizona Indian maiden.

All the chiefs who knew her,

Came to woo her,

For her pined

To marry she declined,

At last she changed her mind,

But 'twas not a chief so grand, who won her heart and hand,

But a warrior bold, who wooed her with a song:

Chorus:

My sweet Anona, in Arizona,

There is no other maid I'd serenade;

By camp-fires gleaming, of you I'm dreaming,

Anona, my sweet Indian maid.

When her father heard that his Anona,

Loved the youthful brave;

Straight-a-way he said he would disown her, things looked grave.

She must marry "heap big chief,"

Sweet Anona hid her grief,

Ran away, so they say,

And got married to the man she loved without delaying.

Then her father sought he,

Never caught her,

Till one day,

When two years passed away,

They both came back ot stay,

Then the chief declared a truce, when they named their young papoose,

After him and to his grand-child he would sing.

I´ll Be With You When The Roses Bloom Again

Letra: Will D. Cobb; Música: Gus Edwards

(F.A. Mills, New York, 1901)

La canción escenifica el momento en que un soldado ha de partir hacia la guerra, despidiéndose de su novia con una promesa: "si no se encuentra entre los caídos, regresará junto a ella, cuando las rosas florezcan de nuevo".

Letra:

They are roaming in the gloaming, where the roses are in bloom,

Just a soldier and his sweetheart, staunch and true, 

But her heart is filled with sorrow, and her thoughts are of the morrow, 

As she pins a rose up on his coat of blue. 

"Do not ask me, love, to linger, for you know not what you say, 

When my duty calls, my sweetheart´s voice is vain, 

But your need not be sighing, If I´m not among the dying, 

I´ll be with you when the roses bloom again". 

Chorus

When the roses bloom again beside the river,

And the robin redbreast sings his sweet refrain,

As in days of Auld Lang Syne,

I´ll be with you, sweetheart, mine,

I´ll be with you whrn the roses bloom again.

Hiawatha (A Summer Idyl)

Letra: James J. O'Dea; Música: Neil Moret

(Whitney Warner Pub. Co., Detroit, 1902)

Letra:

Oh the moon is all agleam on the stream

Where I dream here of you my pretty Indian maid.

While the rustling leaves are singing high above us overhead

In the glory of the bright summer night

In light of the shadows of the forest glade

I am waiting here to kiss your lips so red.

There's a flood of melodies on the breeze

From the trees and of you they breathe so tenderly

While the woodlands all around are resounding your name,

Oh my all in life is you only you

Fond and true and your own forevermore I'll be.

Hear then the song I sing with lips aflame.

Refrain:

I am your own your Hiawatha brave – my heart is yours you know

Dear one I love you so

Oh Minnehaha gentle maid decide – decide and you'll be,

My Indian bride.

In the tresses of your hair, lies a snare and it's there

Where my heart a willing captive is.

Oh my woodland queen I pray you'll hold it ever in your care

In my little birch canoe love with you

Just we two down the stream of life in wedded bliss

I would drift sweetheart with you my lot to share.

When the birds upon the wing in the spring

Gaily sing of the green and golden summer time

When the snows of early winter robe the woodlands in white,

Then your Hiawatha free I will be

And to thee ev'ry thought of mine will o'er incline.

Heed then the vows I pledge to thee this night.

Come Down, Ma Evenin' Star

Letra: Edgar Smith; Música: John Stromberg

(M. Witmark & Sons, New York, 1902)

Letra:

When from out de shades ob night

Come de stars a shinin´ bright,

I spy de one I do love I recognize ma true love

Amid de tiny orbs ob light.

Search de sky from East to West,

She´s de brightest an´ de best,

But she´s so far above me

I knows she cannot love me

Still I loves her an´ more dan all de rest.

Refrain

Ma evenin´ star I wonder who you are,

Set up so high like a diamond in de sky.

No matter what I do...

I can´t go up to you,

So come down from dar, ma evenin´star.

Come down!, Come dawn!

Come dawn from dar, ma evenin´ star.

With All Her Faults, I Love Her Still

Letra y Música: Monroe H. Rosenfeld

(Hitchcock's Music Stores, New York, 1888)

Letra:

With all her faults I love her still, And even though the world should scorn;

No love like hers, my heart can thrill, Although she´s made that heart forlorn

Tho! other hearts have won her love, I bear for her no dreams of ill; 

Her face to me still dear shall be, With all her faults I love, I love her still. 

With all her faults I love her still, And even so till death doth part; 

No love like hers my soul can thrill, No Other love can win my heart; 

I love her still, I love her still, With all her faults I love her still. 

She went away one Summer day, And never came again to me. 

And since that day I long and pray. That I may pass life's dreary sea! 

I see her now as first we met. The sunlight shining o'er her brow; 

The days were joy without alloy. But, ah! my heart, my heart is weary now. 

With all her faults I love her still. And even so till death doth part; 

No love like hers my soul can thrill, No other love can win my heart; 

I love her still, I love her still. With all her faults I love her still. 

With all her faults I love her still, Although her love for me is dead; 

In ev'ry dream her smile doth beam. Nor care I what the world hath said. 

I know that she'll return again. Although her face no more I greet, 

And when this life shall end the strife, I know that we, that we again shall meet. 

With all her faults I love her still, And even so till death doth part; 

No love like hers my soul can thrill, No other love can win my heart; 

I love her still, I love her still, With all her faults I love her still.
