Subject: Lyr Req: A High Silk Hat And A Gold Top Walking C
Searching for lyrics to an old pre world war 2 tune, I believe, on an old 78 record. I used to sing this but can no longer remember the lyrics.

I'll get myself a High Silk Hat and a gold top walking cane,
and a watch you twist around your wrist that don't need any chain.
There'll be silk and hose and store bought clothes for pappy ma and jane.
I'll take a trip aboard a ship across the bounding maine
like an aristocrat in a high silk hat and a gold to walking cane.
