I DREJtM OF JEANNIE I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair King Jesus lit de candle by de waterside, Borne like a zephyr on the summer air, To see de little chillun when dey truly baptize'. I see her tripping where the bright streams play, Honor! Honor! Unto de dying Lam'. Happy as the daisies that dance on her way;

Oh run along chillun, an' be baptize' Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour, Dazza mighty pretty meetiri' by de waterside. Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er. Honor! Honor! Unto de dying Lam'. I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair Floating like a zephyr, on the soft summer air. I prayed all day, I prayed all night, My head got sprinkled wid de midnight dew. I long for Jeannie with the gay dawn smile, Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile; Honor! Honor! Unto de dying Lam'. I hear her melodies like joys gone by, Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes tha die,

SILENT STRINGS Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain, Wailing for the lost one that comes not again; Silent Strings, Long have you muted lain, I dream 'of Jeannie with the light brown hair, Floating like a zephyr on the soft summer air. Strings of my heart, Untouched by joy or pain. Silent Strings! Oh when were you played upon? Was it in Sarnarcand, Or Avalon?' WHY DON'T YOU TRY

There's a lass in every city, there's a girl in every toll' II, Strings of my heart! Too long have you silent lain. There's welcome ever waiting for the soldier of renown. When will you wake? When will you sing again? We may kill and we may harry, and we never seem to marry, W'hen Love, the master, shall come Who has tarried long, But there always is a welcome for the soldier of renown. He shall quicken the silent strings into song! 'We're glad we're soldiers, yes, everyone. We're g-Iad we're soldiers, it's lots of fun.

SUABIAN FOLK SONG The people all come running when we go marching by, They bring' us drinks and goodies and for our favor vie! The summer day Had passed away Oh, it's lots of fun to be a soldier, Why don't you try? And silent night was reigning, WHY DON'T YOU TRY? Soft breezes stirr'd And then I heard A gentle voice complaining. TRAMP! TRAMP! Tramp, tramp, tramp, along the highway, With bitter grief Beyond relief Tramp, tramp, tramp, the road is free; My heart was overflowing; Blazing trails along the byway The tears I shed With sorrow fed Couriers de Bois are we. Sweet flowers around me growing. Tramp, tramp, tramp, 11011' clear the roadway, Room, room, room, the world is free! The Queen of night Sank out of sight We'r e Planters and Canucks, She could not shine for sorrow, Virginians and Kaintucks, The planets bright Withheld their light, Captain Dick's own infantry! My pain they too would borrow. ',J "BARBER SHOP" No voice of bird, Nor song is heard Kentucky, 0 Kentucky! How I love your classic shades, To fill the air with gladness; Where Hit the fairy figures of the star-eyed southern maids, But everywhere In nest or lair, Where the butterflies are joying mid the blossoms newly born, 'Vild creatures share my sadness. Where the com is full of kernels and colonels full of corn! W ANDERER'S'SONG

o thank me not for what I sing thee, Thine are the songs, no gift of mine. Thou gavst them me, I but return thee What is and ever shall be thine.

Thine were they everyone forever. The light which in thy dear eyes shone Truly has taught me how to read them. Dost thou not know they are thine own> GENERAL COMMITTEE
