WHAT D'YE MEAN, YOU LOST YOUR DOG?

I've got a dog named Rover; here, Rover, come,Rover;

He roams around all over, just home three times a day. I'll bet he hears me whistling; see the neighbors listening; What d'ye mean, you lost your dog, I hear the people say?

Chorus:

Has anybody here seen Rover?

I'm lookin' for him now all over;

He's a hunter's dog alright, keeps me hunting day and night, This is what I worry over; say, who put the "rove" in Rover? My whistle's getting dry,

It seems as if I hear that mongrel whine;

I should worry like a tree and have somebody trimming me; Where's that doggone, doggone dog of mine?

I'm looking around all over; here, Rover, come, Rover;

I got him up in Dover, one hundred miles away.

Wait 'till he comes, I'll chain him, I'll train him, I'll brain him; What d'ye mean, you lost your dog, again I hear them say.

Chorus:

Has anybody here seen Rover,

I'm looking for him now all over;

He's a hunter's dog alright, keeps me hunting day and night; This is what I worry over; say, who put the "rove" in Rover? My whistle's getting dry,

It seems as if I hear that mongrel whine;

I should worry like a hen, scratch all day without a pen; Where's that doggone, doggone dog of mine?

Chorus (repeat):

Has anybody here seen Rover,

I'm looking for him now all over;

He's a hunter's dog alright, keeps me hunting day and night; This is what I worry over; say, who put the "rove" in Rover? My whistle's getting dry,

It seems as if I hear that mongrel whine;

I should worry like a bee, and have somebody stinging me; Where's that doggone, doggone dog of mine?

TAKE BACK THE HEART

Claribel

Take back the heart that thou gavest
What is my anguish to thee,

Take back the freedom thou cravest,
Leaving the fetters to me.

Take back the vows thou hast spoken,
Fling them aside and be free,
Smile o'er each pitiful token,

Leaving the sorrow for me.
Drink deep of life's fond illusion,
Gaze on the storm cloud and flee,
Swiftly through strife and confusion,
Leaving the burden to me.

Then when at last overtaken,

Time flings its fetters o'er thee,
Come with a trust still unshaken,
Come back a captive to me.
Come back in sadness or sorrow,
Once more my darling to be,
Come as of old, love, to borrow,
Glimpses of sunlight from me;
Love shall resume her dominion,
Striving no more to be free,
When on her world weary pinion,
Flies back my lost love to me.

WHEN IT'S MOONLIGHT ON THE RIO GRANDE

Oh, Mandy Lee, your smiling is haunting me,
And in my dreams it always seems,

I'm going back to scenes that used to be,
When we stood beside the dear old Rio Grande.

Chorus:

When it's moonlight on the Rio Grande,
And the stars shine on the gleaming sand,
That's the time I'm coming back to see

If the moonlight brings you, love to me.
When the moonbeams gleam upon the dew,
I will tell my love for you;

I'll be coming back to claim your hand,
When it's moonlight on the Rio Grande.

WHEN IT'S MOONLIGHT ON THE RIO GRANDE-Cont.

Oh, Mandy, there's joy for you and me,

Beside the stream, where we could dream
Of the golden days, the days that used to be,
When we strolled beside the dear old Rio Grande.

WHEN I'M GONE YOU'LL SOON FORGET
E. A. Keith

When I'm gone you'll soon forget me,
And 'tis better I should go;

You regret the day you met me,

You have often told me so.

Once your heart was in my keeping—
And perchance you love me yet,

Far away I'll soon be sleeping,

When I'm gone you'll soon forget.

Refrain:

When I'm gone you'll soon forget me,
When from you I'm far away-
You'll be happy in the old home,
That you yearn for day by day.
In your heart there'll be no longing,
Not one pain or fond regret,

I will leave you in life's morning,
When I'm gone you'll soon forget.

Once love's light was brightly burning
In our quiet little home;

In our hearts there was no yearning,
We were happy there alone.
Golden hours we pass'd together,
In those days when first we met,

I will leave you now, forever,

When I'm gone you'll soon forget.

WHAT'S THE USE OF LIVING WITHOUT LOVE

Don't you sometimes ponder

There is something that you miss?

And don't you fancy and wonder

Just to know what that something is?

When evening shades are falling,

And when the stars appear

Ah! then you know for what you're longing;
Then you must think, my dear:

Chorus:

What's the use of lips worth kissing,
If fond kisses they keep missing?
What's the use of living without love?
The birds and flowers mingle,
There's naught in Nature single;

What the use of living without love?
Don't you know that life too soon is through?
You ought to know the one thing you should do,
What's the use of bright eyes beaming,
What's the use of fond hearts dreaming,
What's the use of living without love?

WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And poor contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God,
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.

Did ever such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of Nature mine,
That were a present far too small,

Love, so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

SOMEBODY CARES

Somebody knows when your heart aches
And everything seems to go wrong,
Somebody knows when the shadows
Need chasing away with song;
Somebody knows when you're lonely,
Tired, discouraged and blue,
Somebody wants you to know Him,
And know that He dearly loves you.

Somebody cares when you're tempted,
And your mind grows dizzy and dim;
Somebody cares when you're weakest,
And farthest away from Him.
Somebody grieves when you're fallen,
You are not lost from His sight,
Somebody cares for your coming,

And He'll drive the gloom from your night.

Somebody loves you when weary,
Somebody loves you when strong;
Always is waiting to help you,

He watches you-one of the throng.
Needing His friendship so holy,
Needing his watchcare so true,
His name? We call His name Jesus,
He loves every one, He loves you.

WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME

Lambert

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!

We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!

The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out.

Chorus:

And we'll all feel gay,

When Johnny comes marching home.
