Thread Name: Lyr Req: All by Yourself in the Moonlight
Subject: there ain't no sense
has anyone heard of a song that might have been written in the 20s or a little earlier - of which i have neither title, artist or composer!
so this is really a job for the Sherlocks amongst you -
I do have a few lyrics as I remember them from my wild Irish Granny's singing

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no . . . ( something, something . . . trees?)
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight.

I have a tune and it is more of a popular song than a folk song but perhaps it will strike a chord with someone out there,
thanks
