Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: On the Old Fall River Line
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Old Fall River Line
Here's two additional choruses for the song, if anyone has the slightest interest -- from the 1913 record by Billy Murray. Both are sung after the "Turn the boat around" verse.

On the old Fall River Line,
On the old Fall River Line,
They make the trip in seven days,
Just multiplied by nine.
You could sail across the ocean
And be halfway up the Rhine
While you take a trip
In a battleship
On the old Fall River Line.

On the old Fall River Line
On the old Fall River Line
I lost an 18 karat watch,
A super, super fine.
I got into someone's trousers,
Then someone got into mine.
You can lose your life,
Yes and lose your wife,
On the old Fall River Line.

A very clean copy of the 78 is available at www.archive.org in one of the "Collected Works of Billy Murray" volumes.
