LI~TLE
BUNCH OF ROSES
Darling I have come to tell you,
Though this message breaks my heart;
For before the dawning, darling,
We'll be many miles apart.
Take this little bunch of roses
That you gave me long ago.
I have kissed them many times, darling,
Never to kiss them any more.
Down among the faded roses,
I have but the withered stem.
I have parted from my darling
Never to see his face again.
Go and leave me if you wish to.
Never let me cross you mind.
In your heart you love another
\iho will treat you good and kind.
Darling, don't you know who loves you?
Don't you know whose heart is true?
Don't you know who's sad without you?
Goodbye, darling, I must go.
One more word and all is over,
Though my eyes are filled with tears.
You have caused me lots of trouble;
You have almost broke my heart.
One more word and all is over,
Though my eyes are filled with tears.
Meet me darling, up in Heaven,
There to spend ten thousand years.
Don't you hear a sea bird mrying
On a dark and lonely sea'?
Oh! My darling, while you're thinking,
Won't you sometimes think of me?
I would
I would
I would
Just to
pawn my watch and locket,
pawn my golden chain.
spend my last old dollar
see his face again.
Don't the sea look rough and rugged?
Don't the sea look wide and deep?
Don't my darling look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep?

The storms are on the ocean,
The sea will cease to roam.
The earth will loseeit's motion
If I prove false to thee.
If there's no change in the ocean,
If there's no change in the sea,
If there's no change in you my love
There'll be no change in me.
There is no change in the ocean..
There is no change in the sea
If there's no change in you, my love,
There'll be no change in me.
I asked your Mama for you, dear.
she said you wase too young.
I wish I had never saw you, dear
A nd I had never been born.
Who will shoe your little feet,
And who will glove your hands?
And who will kiss your red rosy lips
When I'm in a foreign land?
My Papa will shoe my pretty little feet,
My Mama will glove my hands.
And you may kiss my red rosy lips
When you return again.

Goodbye
Farewell, farewell is a lonely sound
And always brings a sigh,
But give to me that better world
That comes from the heart, goodbye.
Chorus
Farewell, farewell we hear it oft
With a tear, perhaps with a sigh.
But the heart feels most
When the lips move not
And the eyes speak a gentle goodbye.
Farewell, farewell is never heard when
The tear is in the Mother's eye
Adieu, adieu, she speaks it not
But, my child, goodbye, goodbye.
But, my child, goodbye, goodbye.
Chorus
Farewell, farewell may do for the gay
When pleasures throng is nigh
But give to me when loved ones part
That sweet old word, goodbye,-
That sweet old word, goodbye.

Arkansaw Traveler.
My name is Sanford Barney
I came from Little Rock town.
I've traveled this wide world over
I've traveled this wide world around,
I've had many ups and downs,
Through life better days I've saw,
But I never knew what misery was
Till I came to Arkansaw.
'Twas in the year of eighty two,
In the merry month of June
I landed at hot springs
One sultry afternoon,
there came a walking skeleton
And gave to me his paw,
Invited me to his home one day,-
'Twas the best in Arkansaw.
I followed my conductor
Into his dwelling place.
It was starvation and poverty
Pictured on his face.
His bread it was corn dodgers,
His beef I could not chaw,
He charged me fifty cents a meal
In the State of Arkansaw.
I started back next morning
To catch the early train,
He said: Young man, you'd better work for me
I have some land to drain,
I'll give you fifty cents a day
Your washing and old chaw,
You'll feel like quite a different man
When you leave old Arkansaw.
I worked for the gentlemen three weeks
Jess Hatter was his name
Six feet seven inches in his stocking feet
And slim as any crane,
His hair hung down like ringlets
Beside his slackened jaw,
He was the photograph of all the gents
That was raised in Arkansaw.
His bread it was corn dodgers
As hard as any rock,
It made my teeth begin to loosen
My knees begin to knock,
Got so thin in sage and sassafras tea
I could hide behind a straw---
I am sure I was quite like a different man
When I left old Arkansaw.
I started back to Texas
A quarter after five,
Nothing was left but skin and bone,
Half dead and half alive,
I got me a bottle of whiskey
My misery for to thaw,
Got drunk as old Abraham Lincoln,
When I left old Arkansaw.
Farewell, farewell Jess Harrel,
And likewise darling wife.
I know she never will forget me
In the last days of her life,
She put her little hand in mine
And tried to bite my jaw,
She said Mr. Barnes remember me
When you leave old Arkansaw.
Farewell, farewell, swamp angels,
And the canebreak and the chills,
Farewell to sage and sassafras tea
And corn dodger pills,
If ever I see that land again,
I'll give to you my paw
It will be through a telescope
From here to Arkansaw.
