2. Bonnie flags shall crown you now, O Lincoln dear,
We place them by your noble brow, O Lincoln dear;
And fairer far than monument,
The love from our young march hearts is sent,
You were our honored President, O Lincoln dear.
Chorus:
Wave the banners high, The Red, the White, the Blue,
Wave the banners high, To Lincoln dear we're true.
O wave the bonnie banners, How proudly they all sway,
We wave the Red, the White, the Blue, For Lincoln dear today.
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
Laura R. Smith F. F. Churchill &
Mrs. Clara Grindell
[MUSIC]
1. O dear Lincoln, we are singing
Of your noble deeds to-day;
Ever fond will be your mem'ry;
In our hearts you hold full sway.
Your last battle now is ended,
Your last victo-ry is o'er,
But your dear name we will honor,
And sing praises evermore.
2. O dear Lincoin, we are bringing
Choicest flow'rs that ever grew;
And we wave our royal banner,
Flag of red and white and blue.
Farewell, Lincoln, we are singing,
Sweet indeed may be your rest;
And you in our glorious country,
Take a place with he-roes blest.
Chorus:
Farewell, Lincoln, we are trying
To be, like you, true and brave,
For we can but truly honor
One who freedom to all gave.
THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND
Laura R. Smith Clarence L. Riege
[MUSIC]
_Allegretto_
1. 'Way down in the sunny Southland
Lives the little black boy, you know;
His mother sings a lullaby,
To the tune of the old banjo....
2. 'Way down in the sun-ny Southland,
Where the sky is so bright and blue,
The black boy on the banjo strings
Likes to play the same tune to you....
3. 'Way down in the sunny Southland
You will hear this sweet lullaby,
The wee black boy must go to sleep,
For the Sandman is passing by....
Chorus:
Plunkety plunk, Plunkety plunk,
Down in the cottonfield we go;
Plunkety plunk, plunkety plunk,
Plunkety plunk, plunk-plunk, banjo.
