Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Eloise (Belle of Mohawk Valley )
Whose recording of this would I have heard on the radio, c. 1960, with a final verse that went something like:

Bless my Mary, my Kate, bless my Cindy and my Sue
They've been laughing and loving and kind
May they all be forgiven when spring comes to the Vale
And I take Eloise for my bride

In my mind, it is sung by a men's chorus...
