In Johnnie Verbeck's machine.

One day

little fat

boy came walking

in the store,

He bought

a pound of sausage and piled

to whistle

them on the

floor;

The boy began

and he whistled up a tune,

And

all

the

little

sausages went dancing 'round the room.

Repeat chorus.

One day

the machine got busted and the

wouldn't go.

So Johnnie Verbeck, he climbed inside

so;

His wife, she had a nightmare and walking

in

her sleep,

She gave the crank an awful yank and Johnnie Verbeck

was meat.

A Flat.

Time: 3/4

you see, by the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous
say, can
fight.

we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there! say, does the star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O'er the ramparts

On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As
it

fitfully

blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the

morning's first beam. In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream 'Tis the star-spangled banner. long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The Cowboy's Sweet Bye and Bye

Tune:

"My Bonnie"
Time: 3/4
I

Key: G.

Last night as
I

lay on the prairie

in the skies,

And gazed at the stars

wondered if ever a cowboy Could drift to that sweet bye and bye.
Chorus
Roll on, roll on. Roll on,
little

dogies,

Roll on, roll on.

Roll on, roll on. Roll on

little

dogies, roll on.

The road to that bright heavenly region Is a dim narrow trail, so they say, But the road that leads down to perdition Is posted and blazed all the way.
Repeat chorus.

They speak of another Great Owner Who's never o'erstocked, so they say But who always makes room for the sinner Who drifts from the straight narrow way.
Repeat chorus.
74

They tell of another great roundup, Where cowboys like dogies will stand, To be marked by the Riders of Judgment, Who are posted and know every brand.
Repeat chorus.
