I was advised to try here with help to find lyrics to a song [from the books board on eBay]
My husbands Nana recently died aged 83 and she used to sing songs with my daughter [aged 7]
They used to sing things like Roll out the barrel and My old Man
We looked up my old man and realised it had a verse we had never heard so my daughter asked me to find their all time fave song a-be my boy [also have seen it written as Abie my boy and a-bie my boy]written by H.Rule and T.Mcgee music by L.Silberman and A.Grock in 1919
Nana's father used to do an act on stage in Manchester where he took off all the music hall stars and even one song required him to pretend he was a woman dressed as a man [must of been quite a sight a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man].He was a prisoner of war and lost part of his shoulder and suffered tremours [I think now he would be diagnosed as pts or shellshock]thanks fro reading my ramblings juliex
